  1. It's my very first time to try VoiceThread. This software really enhances learning discussions online. We can do such digital storytelling too. Your VoiceThread product gives me a view of the Mac Classes' lesson in Science -- types of clouds! Awesome. ^_^ good job Ms. Gloria!

  2. Great presentations using VoiceThread Ms. Gloria! I have to be honest, I was hoping to hear your beautiful voice on your cloud presentation! But that's another great thing about VoiceThread, you can add comments through multiple ways. This tool can definitely be used in the classroom! Great work!
