 What Voicethread is
• Group audio blog around a common media source
• Ways to enter comments
 How I Use Voicethread to Flip the Classroom
• Flipping = taking passive delivery of information out of
class time by putting it online, thereby making more
room for active learning in face-to-face interactions,
which are themselves begun and abetted through
previous online exchanges
