Among the many cool social tools that have been lately launched on the Web, there is one that has struck my fancy: Voice Thread
It is an online platform that allows you to produce a narrative using photos and audio. Other people can add their comments (voice or text) so an entire group’s story can be told from various perspectives and complemented by multiple audio voices. Fascinating!
Alan Levine gives two excellent examples on his blog and demonstrates how you can creatively mash-up and relate content from various sources.
Many creative and exciting possibilities of using this for language learning. Can you think of any? Share your little spark!

I agree that Voice Thread is a great web application. I’d also like to suggest another one that I think is ideal for English Language Learners called Mixer Cast (http://www.mixercast.com/).
I’ve written a post explaining why I like it so much:
