This is a very new tool for recording a voice message. All you need is a microphone! There's no time limit which is a bonus. After recording your message, you can easily send it to a friend via mail or post it on your site. As a language teacher, I could see this being a great tool for getting students to send specific messages to eachother or to their teacher. Some ideas that occur to me could be the following:
A Dictation: - students could send messages to eachother. The receiver could listen and write down the message.
A Greeting: Students could send greeting messages to their teacher or introduce themselves at the beginning of the year.
Narrative Stories: Students or teachers could record themselves reading short narrative stories. The other students would listen to the story and 'listen for specific information'.
Pronunciation: Different accents could be recorded and students would have to listen and try to identify them.
I'm sure there are many ways in which VOCAROO could be used!
The challenges in the new millennium require that both teachers and students become competent users of ICT, able to integrate Web 2.0 tools into their daily teaching and learning. Many of these tools are currently being used by educators to teach ESL or EFL. This blog is dedicated to those tools which can easily be adapted for use in the English classroom. It's a question of using these tools in innovative ways in order to engage our digital learners and motivate them to learn English!
