Description: Vocaroo is a very simple way to audio-record your voice. The website provides a link of the recording which can be shared via blog, blackboard, e-mail, etc. Alternatively, recordings can be downloaded and saved and later uploaded. Recordings can be up to five minutes long. Recordings can be used for a variety of functions. For example, a teacher could use Vocaroo to provide feedback to students or parents. In the earlier grades (PK - 2), Vocaroo would allow the parents to send a voice recording of their child to the school educators in order to help evaluate speech/language in the home context. In some cases, educators hope to reach out to families affected by limited eye-sight or dyslexia, and Vocaroo would facilitate communication between the educator and family in these instances. Additionally, Vocaroo offers the advantage of preserving vocal-inflection that helps to keep communication personal in a digital age where the true intent of messages is often lost in text/email-based communication.
