VoiceThread has the ability to accommodate and appeal to all types of learners and by doing so, can reduce the barriers for certain leaners.

  • Voicethread can increase active learning in students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, and emotional behavioural disorders. 
     
  • This tool allows students who have trouble with penmanship and writing skills, to express their thoughts through the audio feature or through the text description.
     
  • For those students who are visual learners, VoiceThread can appeal to them and help them understand the material. It can have pictures and actions, instead of just a teacher talking
     
  • For students who have difficulties with speech, they could use VoiceThread for a project and be able to use the text feature along with visual attributes, to be able to share their ideas without struggling with speech.

 

According to the Terms of Service, you must be 13 years or older to register and use VoiceThread. If you are under that required age, you must use an account created by a parent or guardian, and must have their permission to do so.
