Have a class discussion

Remote learning Day 1 done. Takeaways: Our students are amazingly resilient and capable, and this is a great excuse for us teachers to try something new! We used @vocaroo to have a class "discussion" about remote norms #byrampride pic.twitter.com/ZrVutMrrJy

Create a "voxer" like experience for students with Vocaroo and a question posted in Google Classroom. Make sure you set the question so that students can reply to others and also edit their own posts. I'm going to try this next week. #windhamfamily #remoteteaching #accessibility

A2 Vocaroo is a great tool for speaking assessments. Students can record their voices and post a link to their assignment in GC. #SAtlk

Send feedback to students

My feedback is more precise, extensive and personal.
It takes me less time.
Students' reactions have been really positive ("I hear you whispering in my ear and telling me how to write a great essay" 💜😍)
What's not to love?

Just like adults get tired of reading lengthy emails, so do students. Consider mixing up the style of the feedback you are giving students with audio and video feedback using @vocaroo and @Screencastify . #elachat #edchat #remoteteaching

How are you giving feedback remotely? For me, personally, I find using audio ( vocaroo) and video screencast ( Zoom> sharing my students' assignment on the screen and doing a voice-over)the most effective approaches.

Need a #STEM #tech activity? S’s were given 3 prompts to choose from to create a Google slide which contained 1 pic & a verbal response using @vocaroo. It was so great to hear my s’s voices & see how they are doing! Could be adapted for any subject. #byrampride #Google pic.twitter.com/RknKTBPLLE

A4: So many of our teachers used @vocaroo as voice overs for slides and Google Docs. Students enjoyed hearing their teacher's voices, kept a connection. #LearnLAP

…and within a Google Doc or Form

Use vocaroo to record and leave a comment with the link. Vocaroo is very mobile friendly so I use it on the ballfields to record comments (back when we had practice).

And many more things!

An option for my students is a daily journal. I decided to keep one myself and share it with them. Today's was really fun as I did a voice recording (podcast) as suggested. Listen below! @studysync @vocaroo @lcccsma @CajonValleyUSD https://t.co/SuVni3xDQ5

Try Vocaroo – it’s an audio recording site where you record yourself speaking as many times as you need to, and re-record as neededhttps://t.co/O6wbvgTMaS
Failing that, your students can make audiobooks, slam poetry, responses to news articles/news casts, journals, etc
