In this example two VoiceThreads were set up for two classes from different communities (rural and city). The students were asked to upload a photograph that reflected a certain aspect of their community (eg transport) and record a brief description. Once both classes had completed this task for each of the assigned categories, the schools were invited to view each others' threads, **ask questions** and **make comparisons**.
