Voicethread App
Sorry for not being more active in here, but did see that the Voicethread app was released today for iPhone and iPad: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voicethread/id465159110?mt=8
I tried it quick and it worked pretty well if I had pictures in Photos app or if I wanted to use one of the cameras on the iPad2.
I hope this helps some of you, I know a few districts have iPads and hope to try it out with some of our classroom sets next week.
Have a great Friday and excellent weekend.

Thanks for the tip. I've already downloaded it. What a great first app. I was surprised to see that the VT app is more than a viewer. I'm able to create VThreads on my iPad! The VTs I tried downloaded quickly and looked good. Sound was clear, too. This will make it so much easier to conference with students, too.
The one negative was that I missed being able to view all the slides. It makes it so easy to jump to slides at the end. I found it cumbersome to get to the end of a long VT.
I'm about to introduce VThread to my class. This app arrived just in time. -

Great to hear and good luck introducing Voicethread to your class. I only looked quick at it because I have Admin work due, but I recorded pretty easily. I know what you mean about viewing all of them, but running it this way from an iOS device I don't expect to have all of the bells and whistles. What's going to be nice is to not have to worry about a netbook/laptop logging on, but can sign into app and be ready to record and go view and/or record. Well, we'll see. I'm excited to see this app out there, I hope it works well. We have a few iPad carts out there, easy to record. It was easy for me to create because I had photos on iPad. Thanks for the thoughts Brien.

The app works beautifully on the iPhone as well. We are evaluating Android tablets at my school and hope Voicethread releases an Android app SOON!
