Online Voice Recording for Student Playback
Sorry for the delay in posting, I’ve been extremely busy these past few weeks.
What an awesome tool http://vocaroo.com/widgets.php !! With this tool and a microphone your students can login onto your wiki or blog record their reading and play it back! What K-2 teacher couldn’t use this?
It doesn’t save the recording in any location so you don’t have to worry about copy right issues. The student simply clicks the record now button, reads his/her story into the mic and then presses stop. The student can then listen to his recording as many times as he likes. (just don’t close it) Once the page is closed the recording is lost.
Another option for use is having a student read for other students to listen or for a teacher to read and have students listen. This is a great way for struggling readers to hear themselves or other quality readers to help them improve their reading skills.
One librarian is using this as a library center http://monarchcenters.wikispaces.com/readingrecording . What other ways can this be used? Leave a comment and share your ideas for this tool. Play with it over Thanksgiving break and see what you can come up with.
If you want to save the recordings then you’ll want to look at other options, but then you need to be careful with copyright issues.

When combined with audiobooks, which would model correct reading, this is a great idea!
