I love this app. It's so simple to use - just open the app, click record and start talking (or singing if you want). Press stop when you are finished and you are good to go. This app provides so many ways to save the recording - you can send it by email, SMS, put it in your Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, Sound Cloud and more.
Here are just a few ways you could use this app -
- Students record themselves reading a portion of a story and then listen to their recording. They can hear where they had trouble or where they did well. Save these over time and students can see how much they have progressed over the school year.
- Use the recordings in a presentation or as an audio track in an iMovie or other video tool.
- Teachers could read portions of a novel to their students and post them online.
- Use it when interviewing someone for a research project.
The possibilities are endless.
