How to use / share your Voice Thread

Gentlemen:

Go to the 174 'Cool Cities' site, and check out the Voicethread.com site. You will be adding a voicethread link to your blogs - which you can also link to your 'Personal Focus' section to increase the effectiveness of the posting(s).

There are many ways you can share your Voicethread. If you are really tech-savvy, you can even try "embedding" it in your blog. The basic ways, however, are just making it 1) private 2) public. See below.

PRIVATE
1. Sign into voicethread.com
2. Click on the star (right-hand corner) for your Voicethread.
3. Click on “edit”.
4. Click on “add a friend”. Fill in the information.
5. Click on the eye picture (allow), giving your friend permission to view your Voicethread.
5. Click on “Invite”. Send e-mail to your friend (e.g. classmates or teacher: gregory.vrhovnik@hct.ac.ae or gregoryv2005@gmail.com )

PUBLIC
1. Sign into voicethread.com
2. Click on the star (right-hand corner) for your Voicethread.
3. Click on “edit”.
4. Select “This voicethread is public” – choose comments or no comments.
5. Post your Voicethread link on your blog (Note: you MUST choose "public" - if you just copy and paste the link but your Voicethread is private, people will not be able to see it ... unless you invite them. See "private" above).

Here, for example, is one of TJ's public voicethreads (notice that she has hyperlinked it): http://voicethread.com/#u82592.b112146

Note: this way could be more fun since everybody in class can then see your Voicethread. However, so can everybody in the world!


THanks to Teacher TJ for her help!
