This week's challenge is to take a look at a very cool collaboration tool called VoiceThread with lots of great applications in the classroom.  In this challenge, you will watch a short video about Voice Thread, and then comment   on an already created VoiceThread.  For an added challenge.  You can create your own VoiceThread and add it to your blog or website or ask to be invited to add slides to our collaborative VoiceThread.
