VoiceThread is a collaborative creating website and can be viewed as a helpful educational tool amongst students and teachers. What makes this tool so excellent for group work is it's communication system; you are able to leave comments on slides through posting comments via text, webcam, and voice clip. People invited to the thread are also able to make alterations and these changes are stored in it's history. VoiceThread is perfect to add to ones PLE, it gives you the chance to learn new perspectives by reading other users posts, this also creates a bit of a more intimate setting which can allow people to generate connections which could be useful when it comes to starting your career.
Even though VoiceThread is a handy tool, I do not think it would be a tool that I would add to my PLE. Seeing as though it is quite similar to GoogleDocs I cant help but prefer it over VoiceThread. It is just easier to navigate through and with VoiceThread it doesn't have that holistic aspect like GoogleDocs.
Here is what my class and I came up with through our exploration of VoiceThread:
