VoiceThead is a collaborative tool used to have students comment on a picture, PowerPoint or document. One can comment by typing, using your cell phone, talking or even video recording. It is a good way to have an asynchronous discussion with your class. Perhaps you want to get their opinion on a recent event in the US or the world or you want them to provide additional research.
