1. Option 1 - Create an account for whoever is going to use this website - creators and those who comment must have an account. 2. Option 2 - Create a single "project or student" account and have everyone in the class use this. - the only pitfall is there is no unique name for each person.
Public vs Private:
Public presentations are just that - anyone can search and anyone with an account can comment.
Private presentations provide more control but the downfall is you must know the url for the voicethread - at the end of the voicethread, there is a share option which will give you the url. My workaround was to use the multiurl site and just have a list - the students only need the one multiural link which will give them a clickable list to one another's voicethreads. You can also share it on your classroom wiki or webpage.
This website makes it a snap for student projects - they email their link to you - you add it to the list and then everyone uses the same link to connect to their individual voicethread projects.
