Provides a method for educator feedback on assignments while students are working.
This can also be useful by creating opportunities to evaluate students' learning of presented instruction.
Creates the ability to provide alternative formats by converting written text to an audio file.
This can also be useful for creating audio revision notes.
Implementation Strategies: Have students leave a voice note on an assignment or class materials to orally demonstrate understanding of a classroom lesson. Students can self-reflect on their work by inserting a voice note directly on an assignment.
As a creative way to introduce Audio Maker, have the students read a passage on the computer, read a hard copy of a passage and listen to a passage auditorily. Which method were they able to retain and comprehend more of the passage? Take it a step further and have them reflect on each platform. Which platform did they feel bests suites their learning style?
Use Audio Maker as another tool for proof-reading written work. Students can convert their typed assignments to audio format, listen to their work and catch errors they may not have noticed before by simply reading their work. This can allow proofreading "on the go" as opposed to using Text-to-Speech, which requires users to be by their computer.
