Voicethreads is a different kind of presentation website. You can make your own powerpoints by uploading pictures, comments, and your voice. You can also call into it with your phone, and record your voice that way.
I personally think that this is alright, but I would rather stick with regular powerpoint. I think that Voicethreads would work great in college courses, such as online classes, where you could record the lecture and add comments and things like that. It would be just like if you were in class. As for me, I want to be an Elementary Teacher for the younger grades, and I don't think this would be one of the best things to use. It may be cool to put their artwork on, or things we have done in class on, and then put it on my website, or classroom homepage, but I wouldn't actually use it to teach the students.
I think that Voicethreads is okay, but for teaching Elementary students I don't think that this is the best thing out there. I think the Kideos, or Prezi would be much more interesting for the students.
