Voice thread is a totally new website I learned from this class. People can present by images, video, audio, and text. People can comment basically by voice, text, and drawing. I thought this is a new website. However, I just find out this voice thread website has already been set up for a long time from Brenda’s Blog. Since the design is user friendly, for collaborating purpose, most educators use this website to attract their students, so voice thread has a sub-site, named ed.voicethread.com.
From my experience of using it, the Doodling feature is the most interesting function. User can control the timeline and comment on any spot in the timeline. If voice thread can let user comment on other people’s comments, that will be perfect. There are still some limitations. For examples, it is asynchronous. Although lots of people can be online at the same time, user cannot see their head icon or communicate directly.
User can not upload any materials to support, add or edit the original one.
Colaab is a website found from go2web20.net. User can set up one workplace under a free account, which could contain huge images, document, video, audio, and even drag website directly in there. It is synchronous. For the comment on video, Colaab support user to comment on any spot in the timeline also. User can response to each other during the video, and they can upload new materials if they were invited. There are still some limitations, however, user cannot comment by voice. They can only comment by text, drawing, and highlighting.
I didn't know how to attach files here. Just click on the title, it will leads you to the teacher page.
