Ed.VoiceThread FAQ

How can I add more accounts and what will it cost?

Once your school subscription is created you have access to an admin tool where you create accounts for your students and educators. You can add more accounts at any time, $1 each (min of 50 at a time).

If my school or class joins the ed.voicethread network, can I collaborate with people who are not part of ed.Voicethread?

Yes. Educators on Ed.VoiceThread can create content, share and collaborate with whomever they want with the understanding that they will use comment moderation to vet all commentary that is made available to student users on ed.voicethread. Student users on Ed.VoiceThread cannot invite people who are not already part of the Ed.VoiceThread network. The key to safety on Ed.VoiceThread is not restraints, but accountability. When an educator invites commentary from someone outside of the network, they are responsible for the content that's added to their VoiceThread. So it's important to realize that joining Ed.VoiceThread does not put you or your class on an island, educators can invite anyone at all, only students have restrictions.

What happens at the end of the year to the student's work?

There are no free and 'independent' students on ed.voicethread and so they must belong to at least one school or class. If you remove a student from a class or school to make room for another, one of two things will happen. If the students in your class or school do not have valid email addresses, we will give them 20 days to export any voicethread content that they would like to save, and then we will delete the account and all of it's contents. If they are using a real email address to login then they will be removed from ed.voicethread and be given a free account on voicethread.com

Is the school subscription available to other educational groups like home school networks and other educational groups?

Yes, the only requirement is that the members of these groups be educators and students in K-12 learning environments.

How do I add students to my school or class subscription if they already have a free account on voicethread?

If a student or educator already has a voicethread account you can add them by entering their e-mail address into the e-mail field on the Administration Tool. We will not send them an e-mail, but the next time they log in, they will be prompted to 'join' the school or class group, if they accept, we will migrate their account over to Ed.VoiceThread. Until they log in and accept the invitation you will see the term 'Pending' next to their name.
