Description: Online voice recording maker that allows students to record a 30 second message with a computer mike.
Use in Education: There is no registration required which makes this an easy tool for all students to use. Most laptops have built in mikes now or computer mikes are not a huge expense. Students could record themselves saying a short phrase that could be included in a presentation.
Reducing Barriers: The tool helps those learners who may be nervous public speakers. It also provides an AUDITORY stimulus for those learners who respond to sounds. It also helps those who are not good writers. Instead of writing out what one might say in a presentation, they could record parts of it and play it for the class.
Age Requirements: None. No registration neccessary.
