When searching the web for "A Cool Tool for School" I came across a website on Google that had a large list of Web 2.0 tools. I took some time to page through them and stumbled upon a very interesting web tool called VoiceThread. VoiceThread is a 'cloud-like' networking program that allows multiple users to upload video, presentations, live text and video chat. Documents are uploaded to the VoiceThread cloud and then be viewed by all members of the group. Here is a little bit about VoiceThread.
VoiceThread Simply Speaking from VoiceThread on Vimeo.
VoiceThread seems to be an extremely useful tool for students and professionals to communicate and share documents. Many schools including The Pennsylvania State University have already implemented the VoiceThread tool to the school interface. Michael Fort of the Baltimore County Public Schools explains more.
In conclusion I feel that VoiceThread would be a viable and useful educational tool for all classrooms and anybody interested should check it out VoiceThread.
