What takes 20 minutes to grade in Canvas and Blackboard takes me ~4 hours in VoiceThread. So much back and forth clicking. Rosters don't fully integrate, I have never had a success rate greater than 60% of my students. I seriously hate this platform and would recommend avoiding at ALL COSTS. It feels like someone who has never taught anything ever decided to code and make this platform. It is seriously horrible. I'd give it 0 stars across the board if that was an option.

I do not think it would be a good tool for complete learning of a subject, but I do think it can be used to give a good background understanding. for example, if a teacher were to be talking about the Great Depression in class, in a VoiceThread, they could explain the economic climate leading up tot the depression and the Dust Bowl as well. this allows students tot learn what else is happening or leading up to a historical event, so that, in class, the finer details can be taught because students have the background. Lectures can also sometimes get boring, so students might check out while listening to a voicethread.

Students are able to respond by text, voice, drawing, or video. This can allow for differentiation in responses, allow for discussion between students, and have them use their creativity.
