Thing 7: Audio Tools
So I checked out and played with a few of the tools mentioned. Specifically, Chatterpix, Google Docs Voice Typing and Flipgrid. Chatterpix was a hit among primary teachers that I work with, especially Kindergarten. They used this to support their ELA work and had kids using the app as a way to express their comprehension of independent and shared reading. Flipgrid has been extremely popular with my intermediate teachers and is turning into a tool regularly used for math formative assessment for one teacher in particular. The students draw or write their response, record themselves, and then the teacher posts on Class Dojo. Parents love, and have responded extremely well, saying how much they appreciate seeing and hearing exactly what their children are learning.
Here are a few samples:
Equal Groups
Repeated Addition
Repeated Addition and Arrays

Oh my gosh! Loved the flipgrids! I didn't watch them all, but I found myself rooting for each of them as they puzzled out their math problems. What fun.
