Post 17 : My experience with VoiceThread.

As part of one of our assignments, we were asked to create a presentation in PowerPoint and then upload the slides as images into VoiceThread. VoiceThread allowed me to add audio to my presentation with ease. More importantly, it store the presentation on its site and you can link to it as much as you would like. 

My experience with VoiceThread was a wonderful one! I had no problem importing my slides as images. 

However, I did find some limitations using this tool:

• I cannot change my slides in VoiceThread because they are uploaded as images
• The resolution of the images are also dependent on how you converted them into images
• When I uploaded my images, they were not in order

Some advantages of using this tool include:

• Being able to have media-centric discussions. Users are able to comment on actual media instead of text
• It is extremely user-friendly. It took me about 30 minutes to record my slides.
• This tool supports our best communication tool: our voice
• Provides a human element to our presentations

What was your experience using this tool? Was it easy or hard for you to compile your assignment for the class?
