Web 2.0 in Education

VOICE THREAD

Voice thread is a very good Web 2.0 tool through which students can make videos regarding a particular topic. It is very beneficial for people who are more confident with making videos or audio presentations than to write things out thus helpful for students with disabilities. This is a great tool for students who are more interested in speaking than in writing.
