Vocaroo - Need a Quick Audio File? This Will Be Your Favorite Tool!

Vocaroo

Vocaroo is an online tool that allows users to record, send, and download voice messages. Teachers and learners can use Vocaroo in different activities, such as podcasting, digital storytelling, broadcasting, and giving feedback.

The tool is simple and user-friendly. The tool can be accessed directly without logging in to an account. The voice messages can be shared on blogs, websites, and social networking sites. The link to the audio can be shared, just by copying and pasting. Recordings are available for a few months (three months usually). The Vocaroo widget can be embedded on another website, so that, for example, your students can record voice messages via Vocaroo directly from your class website. This tool does not require knowledge of HTML. The recordings can be downloaded in different formats, including mp3, Ogg, flag, and wav.

Have a student create a recording of themselves analyzing a primary source and then using Vocaroo's QR code creator feature, you can develop a gallery walk pairing primary sources with QR codes and have the whole school enjoy the analysis!  Brilliant!!!
