DESCRIPTION
VoiceThread is an interactive media album; it is somewhat similar to a PowerPoint presentation, where slides are created using images, audio and video. They can also play automatically; however, the similarity ends there. What makes VoiceThread unique is the ability for people to add their comments through recording their voice on to VoiceThread. Find out how to create an account with VoiceThread, how to use VoiceThread and how to Embed in your Ultranet space.
