Being able to record audio is a game changer. This is super convenient for students who have stage fright and for me who has a serious fear of losing instructional time!
For my lesson activity, I went with the most basic service, Vocaroo. The screen was simple an easy to use. I simply clicked Record, recorded a brief description of myself, then emailed it to myself.
Feel free to listen in to learn a little more about me (if you can speak Spanish, that is!)
Another way I am considering using this, is to record the dictation portion of exams while I do them live. This way, if a student is absent or come in late, I don't have to read all of the dictations over and over again. Our final exam dictation can take anywhere from 20-30 minutes. Imagine having to do that 3-5 times!
To summarize...Vocaroo: GAME CHANGER!
Terrific! Sounds like a perfect tool for you. Great to be able to have students record so easily. Are you downloading the audio file for safe-keeping?
