This is how the site describes what it does:
A VoiceThread allows every child in a class to record audio commentary about the ideas and experiences that are important to them. Whether an event, a project, or a milestone, children can tell their story in their own voice, and then share it with the world. For teachers, VoiceThreads offer a single vessel to capture and then share all the diverse personalities of an entire class. You will hear the pride and excitement in their voices as the students “publish” their work.A VoiceThread can be managed with little effort, creating an heirloom that can be shared by students, parents, and educators alike.
One class project can have many stories to tell, and a VoiceThread offers a simple way to capture and share them all. For the students, publishing their creation (which can be seen from Seattle to Shanghai), strongly reinforces the message we try to send our children everyday, that their work is great, and worthy of the world’s attention.
VoiceThreads are free for educators!
Creating VoiceThreads will always be free for educators and the students that fill their classrooms. This includes publishing them on the web, and sharing them with the child’s friends and family. It’s really important to us that there are no barriers; no cost to fully participate, no software to buy or download, and no contracts to manage.
