I explored audio tools today and found a few I really liked! I found many of them overlapped in that they had the same features so multiple options weren't necessary but these were my favorites. Flip Grid! All the buzz lately! Our district has showed us Flip Grid but today I took the time to figure out how I will use it in a lesson. I am going to use it with second grade today. They have been learning about library organization and Destiny through videos and quizzes on Schoology. Today is their last portion of learning so I am going to ask them to use Flip Grid to tell me one thing that they learned. I'm not sure how much experience they have with using Flip Grid so at first I thought I would teach them in small groups but now I'm thinking that I will teach one person at their table and they will be the Flip Grid expert to help. If they have used Flip Grid in the classroom, then it is a whole different scenario because they won't need as much assistance. We'll see how it goes today! https://flipgrid.com/dc6b5e Soundation I explored this one on a whim and I loved it! I loved how you didn't have to have an account and just begin playing around. It was easily downloaded as well. I could have students design an audio clip and then upload it to Schoology. Sometimes I offer a product choice of creating a song and this could be the background but I really think I want to share it with my general music teacher. She also teaches at the middle school and I can definitely see middle school students loving this. Students are also 1-1 with HP laptops so this would be easy for them to add lyrics or sounds via the microphone. Vocaroo I looked at this one but it seemed too simple for my needs. I did like that it was only audio so you didn't need a webcam but thought there were better options that I could use. Overall I am eager to try Flip Grid with my class this afternoon and to share Soundation with my music teacher!
