Voice Thread in the Classroom

I am now really excited about using Voice Thread in the classroom in the near future. Here are some ideas that I had on how I could use Voice Thread in my 10th/11th grade English classes
 Make a voicethread that contains paragraphs from persuasive essays. Include comments about the writing. The students will then comment about the pros and cons of the writing.
 Have the students create Voice Threads at the end of a novel unit to discuss themes that were presented in the novel. Other students will have to access the Voice Thread to post comments on how that same theme can be seen in other novels.
 Make voicethreads as a unit review. Post them at the beginning of the unit, so anytime students want, they can go online to review material that has already been covered, preview material that is coming up, or ask questions/make comments about the information.
