Kathy wants to be able to use the editing tools in Word and actually work with the student's document while adding the voice annotation. So, for example, she might add a word in the underlying text, change the font color to indicate a grammatical error, etc. She will then provide the student both with the marked up Word document and with the audio/video of her commenting on the paper as she is marking it up. You could fake something very roughly approximating what she can communicate this way using Voicethread instead, but it would be a lot more work. Now, having multiple students comment on one student's document would be a more appropriate use of Voicethread.

But have a look at Voice Thread: http://voicethread.com/ At first sight, it looks pretty cool and full of usage possibilities. Hi, just for reference, as you have already solved the problem.

That sounds a lot like what I am using with students schoolweblockers.com Each student gets 100 MB storage space and each teacher has up to 4 gigs. It's a nice tool that allows students to turn things in electronically and helps teachers track who has turned what in when, etc. . . We use it for both sotrage and for assessment as it allows comments to go back and forth between users w/o email. THe cost is pretty low right now as it's a new company. Hey Jing user.
