Speak Pipe

Hello! Today I learned a great new audio tool, called Speak Pipe. Speak Pipe offers free audio recording for all devices, such as iPads, iPhones, iPods, and androids devices. Basically, to make an audio file you make a free account then start recording. Speak Pipe can save your records and give links of them. My first recording that I decided to do was read a childhood story "Hiss Howl Hoot". One recommendation that I suggest is to use this website through Google Chrome instead of Safari because then you will not have to download adobe flash player.

A future educator can incorporate Speak Pipe into his or her classroom by using this tool for students to listen to the teacher reading a story. You could break up the classroom into different groups and have a listening table station of you reading a story to the students. Speak Pipe can also be a way to show a child's progression throughout the year. You could record a student reading a book in the beginning of the year and then at the end and see how they have progressed throughout the school year.

Speak Pipe would be a great addition in the classroom because this tool is easy to use. Elementary teachers could incorporate this into their classroom by teaching all of the students to press the record button and then save it. I think students would like this tool because it is so simple and children love using technology. A way that it could be challenging is wether or not the students would create their free accounts or just have a "classroom account" with a universal username and password. Another challenge would be to make students accessed Speak Pipe only through Google Chrome as opposed to Safari. Speak Pipe is definitely going to be a tool that I will incorporate into my future classroom.
