Ecosystem Voice Thread - 5th grade Barnes Elementary

The lesson plans are made
Ecosystems are taught.
Now we get to see,
 if we know it or not...

OOPs!Our Voice thread is experiencing technical difficulties. If and when we figure out the snafu, I will let you know. Until that time, happy Teaching!
Here is our Voice threadlesson used as a review on our unit on ecosystems.
How else can I enhance this voice thread to incorporate other content areas ?
Also, any ideas to enhance our unit on ecosystems?
Please share...
Ecosystem VoiceThread

Reflections:
I can see how using Voice thread can be beneficial in a classroom.
Once you have a shell of a lesson created, a teacher can easily format information according to lesson on her voice thread. And certainly, the students using it on a regular basis would master the program quickly.
Questions I have:
Why is it so difficult to have multiple users on at the same time? When we tried to do this in class, we were 'kicked out' of our voie thread. In a classroom situation, multiple classes need access to a voice thread at the same time.
