How to share your Voicethread

There are many ways you can share your Voicethread. If you are really tech-savvy, you can even try "embedding" it in your blog. The basic ways, however, are just making it 1) private 2) public. See below.

PRIVATE
1. Sign into voicethread.com
2. Click on the star (right-hand corner) for your Voicethread.
3. Click on “edit”.
4. Click on “add a friend”. Fill in the information.
5. Click on the eye picture (allow), giving your friend permission to view your Voicethread.
5. Click on “Invite”. Send e-mail to your friend (e.g. classmates or teacher: teverest@hct.ac.ae or tjeverest@gmail.com )

PUBLIC
1. Sign into voicethread.com
2. Click on the star (right-hand corner) for your Voicethread.
3. Click on “edit”.
4. Select “This voicethread is public” – choose comments or no comments.
5. Post your Voicethread link on your blog (Note: you MUST choose "public" - if you just copy and paste the link but your Voicethread is private, people will not be able to see it ... unless you invite them. See "private" above). Here, for example, is one of my public voicethreads (notice that I have hyperlinked it): http://voicethread.com/#u82592.b112146

Note: this way could be more fun since everybody in class can then see your Voicethread. However, so can everybody in the world!

I'd love to hear what experiences people have with using Voicethread on their blogs.
