I definitely see potential for the use of VoiceThread in the classroom. Being able to easily do a voiceover to accompany a still picture while using the doodler to visually indicate what you are talking about is a great tool. The sample that I have embedded shows how this could be done to talk about the layers in sedimentary rock beds. If a teacher has a Promethean Board she could do the same thing live but if she doesn't then she could do a VoiceThread ahead of time and project it. Or for beginning teachers who aren't confident in their content or are overwhelmed by everything they have to do, they could use a VoiceThread that has been prepared by someone else.
I also liked the idea of using a VoiceThread to have students explain a process. I really like this example of students showing how to figure volume using water displacement.
