Voicethread

**Voicethread** As well as being a great way for kids to collaborate within our school, Voicethread is a great way to collaborate with people or classes overseas in different timezones. Voices are recorded in discussion around an image or video. Students can use it to present their inquiries - it provides a forum where they can present and discuss with others in our school as well as elsewhere.
