I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Vocaroo! It's an online voice recording service and it couldn't be any easier! Click to record and you are set! You can email your voice recording or even post it to your blog or classroom website. SO SIMPLE! I really need to use this more on my class blog...parents and students just love audio.
My idea next year is to use this for reading fluency. Having students record themselves and play it back...tracking progress, etc. I think it would also be great to have them email a message to mom or dad when they've done something really cool in class, met a goal, or just wanted to say hi. You can also record instructions for the class or sub if you are absent and send it via email. It literally take seconds to do.
The cool thing about vocaroo is that there isn't a limit on message length. It's worth it to create an account, because it will save your voice recordings for 5-6 months. If you don't create an account, your messages will be erased after a month or so.
So...here's my tiny little vocaroo just for you....so you can see what it looks like when you embed the audio.
I've used vacaroo in the past. The kids have their own blog. After the kids are finished writing, they would use the gadget, record and listen to their story, and edit anything that needed to be fixed. I don't know why I didn't transfer their vacaroo gadget when I moved the kids to my Primary Graffiti class/teacher blogs. Thanks for the reminder!!
