Voice Thread is a fantastic tool to allow your students to get feedback/peer assessment on their work.
Students create a 'Thread' which may be them presenting a piece of work they have produced online. They can then share this with other people who can add their 'Voices' to the thread to offer their thoughts and feedback.
Feedback can be offered in the form of text, annotations on the screen, audio, video and can even be made via a phone call! The student who placed the work up there can then 'playback' the feedback and use it to help them to improve their work.
