It is a brilliant tool for students to reflect on their learning, engage in conversation with other students about learning, contribute their opinion about a concept or idea, and share their work with others. Voicethread can also be used to work collaboratively with another class or school. In this hands-on workshop, you will set up a Voicethread account and then create Voicethreads. These can be viewed from the Voicethread site and can also be easily added to wikis and blogs. There will be a number of examples shared with the participants to help demonstrate different uses for this tool at the middle to senior level. **Presenter Bio:** I have taught at primary level both in New Zealand and in England. I became the ICT facilitator for the Petone Foreshore cluster in 2006 which involved working with nine schools from Petone, Waterloo, and Eastbourne. I joined the national ICT facilitation team in 2008 and now work with nine clusters in Auckland as well as working on the TakingITGlobal project. I have developed knowledge around the use of web 2.0 applications and maintain a number of wikis with useful information for teachers including http://educationalsoftware.wikispaces.com and http://learningweb2.wikispaces.com. <span class="wiki_link"> <span class="wiki_link"> Click here to register for Voicethread for Middles and Seniors
