@Anthony – many thanks for the kind words, don’t worry cheese is good! You have always been a great supporter to what I write and I really appreciate it.

We are using a standard free account flagged as educational but not the ed.voicethread.com accounts. I have registered one username password with a year group gmail account made in Google Ed Apps – you then create identities for that account (within account settings), so we have 30 id’s for the kids to use.

Children login with one username and password, same for whole class – making management very easy, then switch identities when commenting to ensure their work is shown to be authored by them. They will upload avatar images to the identities soon. Works for us!

Hope that helps.

Thom thansk again for a great post – in the absence of any national guidance on ICT yours is the place I come to first for inspiration and examples of ‘what works tech.

Sorry for the cheese!

A question – when using voicethread – are yoru kids using / regsitered with their gmail account/email or something else?

@ Pete – thanks for the comment, great to hear from you – let me know how you get on with the GDocs and Vthread work. Send on over your themes and I am sure we will find something we can do.

Hi Tom,

Really enjoying looking through your blog. Google docs and voicethread is something I’m going to be looking at using more as it sounds awesome. Let me know if you fancy doing some collaborative work this year. I can email you my themes for each term and see if there are any you want to get involved in.

Speak to you soon mate

Pete
