As educators, we must remember that the specific design and functionality of a particular tool or technology does not define its pedagogical usefulness. Like other Web 2.0 technology, VoiceThread did not begin as an education tool. What makes VoiceThread unique is the ability for people to add their comments through recording their voice on to VoiceThread. They can also play automatically however, the similarity ends there. VoiceThread is an interactive media album it is somewhat similar to a PowerPoint presentation, where slides are created using images, audio and video.
VoiceThread is a 21st Century tool that is engaging, creative, interactive, collaborative, and best of all, free and easy to do. Never before have classrooms had the opportunity and ease of connecting and creating a global worldwide audience.
Review the animations either from presenter view or preview directly from the animation pane.With the vast array of free Web 2.0 technology available for use both in and out of the classroom, we could say that we are living in the Age of Participation (Sprankle, 2009 pp4). Play around with the delay and the duration of your animations to create a better sense of flow in our video. For all other elements, set the animation to ‘Start After Previous’. This starts the animation as soon as the slide is visible. Set the first animation to be ‘Start with Previous’. Open up the Animation Pane, and adjust the animation transitions. I love using the float in and zoom effects! Navigate to the Animation ribbon, and add entrance animation to the key elements on your slide. However, if used wisely, animations can add great effects and create a real sense of flow to your videos. Maybe you’re even guilty of abusing the “Swivel“ or the “Grow & Turn“ (I know I used to be!). This is where the magic starts to happen! You’re probably aware of the ability to add animations into slides. 
The next step is to animate the elements on our slides.
