Even though voicethread was not blocked this summer, I've (Beth) had trouble accessing voicethread at school now. It doesn't say it's blocked; the page just doesn't load. If you use this URL, you can get into voicethread with a .staff login only. It is blocked because it is a Social Networking site. [|http://cdn.voicethread.com]

I (Beth) haven't actually tried to create a voicethread here yet but I didn't get the continue button with this URL. http://ed.voicethread.com/#home
