We want to welcome you into the New Year with a Web Tool that could help you enhance your DIY Projects and your MOUSE Squads.

From their website: VoiceThread.com is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam).Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded on web sites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs as archival movies.

Here are some examples of VoiceThread uses:

For your Squad, consider using VoiceThread to:

• Show users how to build-a-computer step-by-step
• Run a play by play of the perfect interveiw.
• or, Use it to create a podcast where people can post comments and ask questions

This tool was also recently highlighted in a post from our friends at the The Innovative Educator. You can always find more great information and more tools at the The Innovative Educator Blog.
