You can also use an electronic whiteboard to draw on the images.The series of images could tell a story or they could be centered around a theme. (eg fantasy/myths/legends). To get an idea of what Voicethread is about you need to register and logon. Your students would need to register also if they were to use the site.

Challenging students to author their own assessment questions requires them to focus on the important concepts and learning outcomes of a course. Developing effective alternatives encourages students to reflect on possible misconceptions, and explaining the answer to a question in their own words reinforces understanding. || [[image:http://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz/bin/images/warp2.png]] ||
 * [[image:http://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz/bin/images/border_index_share.png]] || Share... All student-authored questions, answers and explanations are shared with the class, and can be filtered in a number of ways including by course topic, by quality or difficulty ratings, and by popularity. Students can also discover good questions by following authors who have contributed questions they find useful. ||^  ||
 * [[image:http://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz/bin/images/border_index_learn.png]] || Learn... Students receive immediate feedback when answering questions, including a summary of previously submitted answers. Answered questions can be evaluated for quality and difficulty, and associated discussion threads enable peer-dialogue around each question. Students can request help from their peers, and can improve question explanations. ||^  ||
