Voxer (part 2 of 2)

We are publishing this slightly out of order, this is post 2 of 2. We are currently writing about the professional development side of Voxer and will publish at a later date.

Voxer is one of those tools that can be used for professional development and giving quick feedback to students. This idea comes from our Sappington principals Dr. Parker and Dr. Albers, so thankful for you sharing this idea with us!

The big idea of using Voxer is that it is fast, simple and impactful.

This post will detail how to use Voxer to record an audio clip and share it with the students you are working with. This could be the tool you have always dreamed of, timely feedback that does not take a ton of time to create.

Getting Started
Download the Voxer app on your Android or iOS device.
Create an account.

Open the app.
Click the hamberger icon (three lines) in the upper left corner.

Click My Notes.


To record an audio note, click and hold the little radio button in the lower right corner.
When you are fisnished release the radio button. 
The second you release the button the recording will stop.
This reminds me of a walkie-talkie or the sweet PRC-77 we used in the Corps. Nothing better than talking on a radio.


To share the note, click the small arrow to the right of the recording.


Click the share button in the upper right corner.

I use the email button but you could share in a million different ways.

We would recommend putting something in the subject line of the email to help the recipient key into why they are receiving the clip.


When the recipient opens the email all they need to do is click on the play button.

Setting Your Gmail Away Message

You will be away from your classroom for a bit and probably won't be checking email on a regular basis. Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4. Save changes . That is it. Now your inbox will automatically alert people that you are not in your...
