Audio Tools are another adventure that I haven’t dabbled with very much. I think they can be very useful in the classroom and library. (My next year to-try list is getting very long!) I think my students would love recording themselves reading and listening to themselves and others. What an amazing way to check for fluency and to hear how their peers read and add expression to their reading. My middle grades have been really into reader’s theaters at the end of this year. We could use an audio tool to record them for their classmates to enjoy. My daughter uses Seesaw in her first grade classroom and I love getting to see work that she did with her little voice talking about it. Learning to verbalize information is such an important skill for children. I tried to explore clyp, but unfortunately that has become a pay per month service. I have used Voki before, but it’s a tool that I kind of forgot about it. It’s fun for students to create and is easy to share with the class. I do love the ease of making it and how students and teachers can change the backgrounds and the character talking. I also like that our students can do the character’s voice in any way that is comfortable to them from typing or using their own voice. I think this tool would be very effective when talking about Famous Americans in second grade. What would be more fun that the famous person talking about themselves? Here is a Voki (http://www.voki.com)that I made using Pebble Go research. https://tinyurl.com/yfahmwee I tried out Speakpipe & Vocaroo and really liked to the ease of use of Vocaroo. Even our kindergarten students can record themselves with that! How cool. Listen to my Vocaroo (https://vocaroo.com/) here for some more information. https://voca.ro/1j7HtonAkR1u
