When I heard the term "VoiceThread," I thought that I would be expecting an application that only allowed me to record my voice giving instructions or comments. I did not expect that I would have to go through all the steps I did to create a presentation. In the end, it was worth it. I can definitely see myself using VoiceThread in my classes, especially in Distance Education.

This tool is another great alternative for students to do presentations. The best thing about it is that unlike Jing (which I love by the way), it allows for more audio recording time and even allows the commentator to record him-/herself while giving the comment. It gives presenters and commentators the opportunity for more in depth discussion on a topic.

A downside that I see with VoiceThread is again that it requires an internet connection. In our school system, the internet is very unreliable. In my experience, students who have created Prezis delay class time because of the fluctuating internet connection to load their presentations. I anticipate the same happening with VoiceThread.
