Voicethread

Voicethread - www.voicethread.com - is one of the best online tools easily adapted for foreign language teaching that I have found. (Note that I have exported the following 3 threads and then uploaded the resulting movie so that you can see them without having to log in to Voicethread.)

I use it to:

teach a phrase teach specific vocabulary give an example of how to say something have students describe a picture or scene have students respond to oral prompts have students practice pronunciation use for listening practice or listening assessment use as speaking practice or an oral assessment have students do a project.
