What equipment do I need?

At your desk. Generally, all you need is a computer that has a microphone (and a webcam if you want to video-conference), and a high-speed Internet connection. Using headphones or a headset microphone will greatly improve audio quality and is highly recommended! You can borrow headsets and webcams from Canaday library or buy inexpensive models ($10-30) at an office supply or electronics store.

Don't have a microphone? VoiceThread can call you! If you provide your cell phone number, you can record an audio clip that will be uploaded to the content you're viewing on your computer. Watch and interact with a VoiceThread about this useful feature.
