6. Great technology tool for elementary school students
• Voice thread can be posted to class blog
• Voice threads can be created that pertain to
curriculum frameworks and standards
• They can be shared with other classes – students
educating students
• Sort of like a more exciting podcast for younger
students because there are pictures with the voices
• Privacy settings – can control who can view the Voice
Thread

8. Pros

• Different privacy options – can be either public
or private

Cons

• It is time consuming to record the voice of each
student in a first grade class, you need an aide
or other adult to help
