I can utilize this in my class to encourage students to vocally analyze and interpret primary and secondary sources!

I like that you can comment on a picture and even draw on it while commenting.

Great website. I would like to use this tool in my classroom for students to choose a set of pictures to represent the main topics that has been covered in class.

I may use this to have students discuss various mathematical symbols or drawings.

This would be great for students to comment on book reports/reviews.

I would use voice thread to teach lessons. But I also think that this would help my students create their projects due this marking period. However, I need to know how to navigate there myself. Judith sure will hear from me.

I am going to encourage Mr. McCurdy to teach this to our kids so I dont have to spend so much time teaching the tool to the children. I will use this as a study guide for a quiz or a test. I can also use this as extra credit assignments for students who need to make up some points.

I have student provide positive feedback and constructive criticism for the woth odf their peers all the time. This is a creative way to extend this idea.

It looks like a wonderful idea, but I find it impractical and I cannot see how it can benefit students in the long run.

We would use this for book reports in our class. I can get students to read the book.

This would work for explaining mathematical solutions. Students could write comments on what they don't understand or tips for other ways to solve problems.

I really like this website. I think this would be a great idea for students to perform group projects and presentations. This will be good to make an art history project where the students have to describe the purpose an artist had for creating a painting.
