All great speakers were bad speakers at first

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ed.VoiceThread is a platform where students develop critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills.

Player

A VoiceThread is a persistent virtual room that enables rich multimodal comments and conversations in a low stress and accessible format. Interpersonal interactions are just as warm as live interactions but instead are self-paced, giving students and teachers time for thoughtful reflection.

Humanizing

VoiceThreading allows you to replace the clickety-click interactions found in many learning tools with the authentic and complex human-to-human interactions that build important lifelong competencies. Speaking, listening, critical thinking, empathic accuracy, and the social and emotional skills required for an entire lifetime of fulfillment all require real human interactions to build.

AI Aware

Using VoiceThread, students don't just generate content; they interact with their peers and teachers in authentic and complex ways that AI cannot. Ask students and they'll tell you they're looking for social learning experiences that are authentic and self-paced. The cognitive skills they'll use to socially connect in a VoiceThread cannot be easily offloaded. No AI detection tools are required.

How VoiceThread fits into the curricular toolscape

“VoiceThread offers a natural online interaction that lends itself to student presenting & defending their work before experts and peers”

- Educause Learning Initiative

“I feel very strongly that parents are important stakeholders, so we want them to have opportunities to connect with their Children's learning. VoiceThread is one of the ways we facilitate this connection"

Sharon Davison Kindergarten teacher

“VoiceThread was the logical option for enhancing the quality of student feedback while integrating user-friendly EdTech. …Without doubt, Thomas will now achieve a better grade in this project and, more importantly, have a deeper understanding of how improved academic performance is related to goals.”

Eoin Lenihan Lecturer of pedagogy
"Another benefit of VoiceThread is that it is specifically designed to promote the collaborative development of knowledge by providing students the opportunity to share their voice, quite literally, and express opinions regardless of their ability."
Stein Brunvand and Sara Byrd TEACHING Exceptional Children
