I have used VoiceThread in my Spanish I classroom to have my students talk about their family in the target language. A prerequisite to the project was having a Flickr account for storing the photos they wish to use in their presentation. Also, we needed access to computers and headphones with microphones for recording. Once students completed the recording portion of the project, I taught them how to recognize HTML code and copy and paste this code into their blogs, and request publishing. I also instructed them from within VoiceThread to disable the comment and download features so that others could see their presentation, but could not do anything with it. If they want to leave comments, they can comment through Class Blogmeister where I have control and can monitor responses. To take a look at one of the final products, go to the following link: La familia de Amalea @http://www.youtube.com/googlevoice Good tutorial with some basic information of Google Voice & how to use. Students can use cell phones or landlines to call in oral activities/assessments. Right now, you need to request a number directly from Google Voice. This service is only available in the US.
