Thinking Outside the Book: Responding to Literature with VoiceThread
By Jessica Mangelson and Jill Castek
VoiceThread is a free interactive online tool that allows students to create products and share them widely. These collaborative multimedia slide shows integrate images, documents, and sound files. Commenting on VoiceThreads is an essential part of the process. Through the interplay of multimedia and commentary, VoiceThread becomes an interactive environment that encourages literary response. Participants can post from anywhere, at any time, making it easy to involve groups in different time zones, or even different countries, in a single conversation. Viewers simply click on “Record” or “Type” to add a comment that appears in the border outside the VoiceThread, and the response becomes a part of the overall project.
