      Hi my names Ian I haven’t used Voice thread very much but so far I really like it. Do you have a blog? I have a group blog that some of my friends and I write for we’re called The Atom Smashers. You should visit it. http://room162w.edublogs.org/

  4. Hello this is a good blog post because most of the voices were clear but maybe next time it could be a quiet room as I could hear the talking in the backround (but other than that it was good!!!).

      Thanks Brenna!

      I think your comment is perfect. I’ve been telling my class that they need to keep it down when recording, but they are just SO excited to hear themselves that they can’t control their talking. This is a good message to hear coming from another student – thank you and have fun with the challenge :-)
