BTW how are you going about creating the accounts? Do students have individual ones? The <a href="http://voicethread.com/termsofuse/" rel="nofollow">Voicethread TOS</a> says age 13 & up only unless the account was created by an adult and they have permission, I'm presuming you did/do the latter? I'm following a similar approach with <a href="http://www.animoto.com" rel="nofollow">Animoto</a>, we are putting together our Grade 3 weather forecast rock videos today, using "lab" accounts that don't personally identify the students. Just wondering how the not-being-personally-identified impacts student engagement, if at all. Hope all is well with you - enjoying the K12Online Conference too, I see! -kj- Hi Kim,

Just wondering how the not-being-personally-identified impacts student engagement, if at all.

Hope all is well with you – enjoying the K12Online Conference too, I see!

Great project idea. Can't wait to see the voicethreads. I’ve encouraged our 4th grade teachers to participate so I hope you will have a school from Willard, Missouri listed in your wiki soon.

It's going to be slow going, as I have one microphone. I am curious where you are getting pictures from. I brought my digital camera in and the kids are taking pictures with it. However, they wanted to take pictures of the book/pictures in the book. In light of Wes's post (http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2007/09/23/book-cover-copyright-issues-with-voicethread-stories/) this appears to be legal, but might not make others happy. However, I don't know if flickr is a safe option. So, just curious what you were having your kids do .. Looking forward to getting some voicethreads up! We just started our voicethreads today too!
