Vocaroo


If you find yourself or your students recording audio for use in the classroom, then you should take a look at Vocaroo. This is a handy Web 2.0 tool that allows users with a built-in microphone to record audio very quickly that can be used for podcasts, narration, and presenting information to webpages, blogs, and or wikis. Like most Web 2.0 tools it is free, does not require an install, does not require a specific browser, or computer operating system.

For those very reasons, Vocaroo is different than say, Audacity. Simply click the record button, speak into the microphone, click the stop button. Vocarro automatically creates a link (or an embed code) you can quickly add to your web page. Unfortunately, it does not have an option to edit the audio, but that is part of what makes this tool so quick and easy to use. Have a microphone connected to your computer?… give it a try today.
