Using Audio in your Classroom

Here is a list of ideas for using audio in the classroom:

  • Use to give an oral quiz-Students call the number, listen to a greeting, and speak their answers.
  • Create an announcement in your Moodle Course.
  • Vocabulary: Learners can speak sentences or paragraphs that demonstrate knowledge of vocabulary words. You could even embed these in a class website, to serve as review/reference materials.
  • Audio Study Guide: Have students call in the content as a message.
  • Math Solutions: Allow students to "talk" through the steps of a math problem..
  • Audio Field Trip Journal: Have kids leave messages throughout the field trip that documents their experiences.
  • Speech: Learners can record speeches via the phone.
  • Get in Character: Let the learners have fun by leaving messages in character.
  • Reflection Tool: After a class discussion or project presentation, have the learners record a reflection via Google Voice.
  • Embed a call on your blog.
  • Field Trip Reflections
  • Discussion Reflection
  • Description of terms etc...
  • Discussion of what the class has been doing
  • Record reports
  • Record guided reading activities
  • Record Commercials
  • Record Speeches for reflection
  • Embed audio clips in ppt or flipchart
  • Record Discussions
  • Read a passage from a book
  • Science log to capture observations
  • Art Critique
