The first example is from an elementary classroom. The teacher brought in a machine that the students had never seen before and they had to draw what they thought was the machine's purpose.

Luckily, VoiceThread makes citing images easy. First, each image that is imported into VoiceThread can be tagged with a title and a weblink. This allows users to include a direct link to any image that they've retreived online. More importantly, however, VoiceThread allows users to upload documents to their strands of conversation as well. That means that users can create a "Works Cited" page in a word processing application and upload it at the end of their VoiceThread presentations. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Here's a sample of a Works Cited page for a VoiceThread presentation on Sudan: [|Sudan_Images.doc] <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The following PDF was created by the University of Cincinnatti and outlines the rules for citing images: [|CitingImages_PDF_000.pdf]
