Voice Thread - An Incredible Resource

I have spent some time this week messing around with an online resource called Voice Thread.  If you have never seen it before it is a resource that is definitely worth checking out for many applications, but especially in the classroom.  Essentially, you upload a series of images (or videos) and add audio and/or labeling to it that plays as people view the presentation.  That doesn't sound all that exciting until you realize that anyone (depending on how you set the privacy level) can add audio, video, or text comments to the show you have posted.  It sounds chaotic, but is actually pretty neat.  There are many ways I can think of using this in my own classroom!  To give you an idea of how this works, I created a Voice Thread on Estimating Populations to get my students thinking about how and why would go about figuring out how many individuals there are in a population.  This question is set up to promote problem-based learning as we work into a lab where we count the population of crickets by painting them.
