  Scholastic Storyvoice Connecting the world, one story at a time Storyvoice was initially created with grant funding from the MIT Media lab, and began as a live storytelling show for Syrian refugee children in Lebanon. Today, our weekly live read-aloud shows have welcomed over 100,000 classrooms and families across 35 countries. Designed for impact From one crisis to another, Storyvoice continues to find purpose. Storyvoice was designed in response to the Syrian refugee crisis to help disadvantaged children keep reading and learning while out of school. With the onset of COVID-19 and global school closures, we expanded the Storyvoice experience to reach more kids in need. Through the process, we have been able to create a vibrant international reading community, and an exciting new technology that helps every child, everywhere, regularly enjoy the benefits and joy of reading with others.

  Book Creator We know that teachers are incredibly busy, and many can be reluctant to try new digital tools. On the flip side, teachers tell us all the time that Book Creator is simple to use, and it can be transformative for students’ learning. We’ve been thinking about how we can bridge this gap, making it easier for those more reluctant teachers to enable their students to try Book Creator. One request we’ve had from tech coaches and teachers is to have ready-to-go resources that can be used to introduce Book Creator to students for the first time. Every student: Book Creator is deliberately designed to be used by everyone. Right across the spectrum of age and cognitive ability, the results are incredible. Every project: Use it for research projects, digital portfolios, literacy journals - or think outside the box and create manuals, comics, yearbooks or school newsletters.

Vocaroo Vocaroo  allows you to create voice recordings and send them through email. No need to install any software! Teacher Review of Vocaroo Posted to Common Sense Media My Take I think that Vocaroo is an excellent tool for teachers and learners to create simple and quick audio recordings. If recording longer than 2-3 minutes I would probably record using another application like Audacity or Adobe Audition that is not dependent on a internet connection. Apparently, recordings can be lost or generate errors if the a connection is briefly lost. Keep in mind this site does not work on iOS devices as the in-browser recorder option has been disabled. How I Use It Vocaroo is a simple web-based learning tool for recording audio in a web browser. Users can record using a traditional buttons or upload (Most common audio formats supported (mp3, ogg, flac, wav, wma, amr, m4a, aiff, aif, aac, mp2, gsm, 3ga, au and ra). Max size 50 MB.) When a user completes their recording they can save it, ...
