This week let's talk about the simplest audio recording tool out there for students, Vocaroo. Getting into activities like student podcasting, multigenre projects involving audio, or film projects with audio overlay can feel really intimidating. But not with Vocaroo. Vocaroo is actually a website you can visit on Chrome. In the middle of the page there's a big red button. Student simply click it and start recording. Then when they're done, they click to download the audio file. It's that easy. With this one simple (free) tool, you can have students record short podcasts, poetry or personal narrative to overlay on a video, documentary scripts, or anything else you want. You don't need a mic, and you don't need to dive deep into the details of programs like Garageband and Audacity, though those might be great steps for someday. So next time you get a great idea for a project involving audio, I highly recommend you calm those nerves and head over to press that big red button and try Vocaroo for yourself. It's the easiest route to student audio, and it takes just ten seconds to master. Go Further: Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.
