I was totally unfamiliar with voice thread, but I can see some possibilities with its use. I explored the Going and Coming and thought it was an interesting way to have students comment on a specific work of art. I could see doing that in a classroom cooperatively solving math problems, or doing peer conferencing. I enjoyed the kindergarten presentation about the library and thought it was an interesting way to do a presentation. Conversely, I did not enjoy the Industrial Revolution one. It was a boring, unengaging presentation done with a computer.
I can see what the 23thingster was talking about when I watched the Web 2.0...about wanting to read ahead, go faster than the presenter and even hearing recorded for all posterity deep comments like , "Well, my slide isn't showing up." Powerful stuff! The applications I see as most effective were the ones of a cooperative nature. After all, that's more what 2.0 is about, isn't it? Engaging others in meaningful dialogue?

I enjoyed the "coming and going" voicethread also. It seems like students commented more than they would have in a regular classroom setting.
