"With this new application in Google Docs ( Drive ), teachers can now record their audio comments and share them with their students. I see this as a better way to give feedback on students' work and I do believe there are things we can express with our voice that no written code could ever capture like the tone and intonation..etc." Via John Evans, Jon Samuelson

Update/Tip: I tried it out-if you have to change your original document-just copy it and add voice to it-121 Writing doesn't sync with your Google Docs updates.
Instructors are always looking for ways to add audio feedback-I'd much prefer adding voice messages to my student's Google Docs then just text like I have in the past. Delete the scoop?

"Today while I was leafing one of the flyers I found under my door, I came across a qr code for a YouTube video.I straightforward thought about creating a list of the best QR readers for your iPad. I have already written a detailed guide on the importance of QR readers in education and have also featured several QR readers in it but this is the first time I am publishing a curated list of some of the best QR readers for iPad. Check out the titles I have selected for you below and let us know what you think of them. Enjoy" Via John Evans Delete the scoop?

Let's encourage all our kids to own and tell their stories! We begin by telling stories we learn from others, then we start making up our own. Next we tell our story to ourselves and those we love. When we construct the narrative of our journey we gain agency over our days, our experiences and our lives. Tell your 'own' story to 'own' your life! This is the very definition of self advocacy.--Lou Delete the scoop?

"One of the things I like the most about iPad is its ability to support all the major e-reader platforms. Its interactivity and audio capabilities have even added a new dimension to read alouds and bedtime stories, making it an ideal device for digital storytelling. And since Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has already featured a List of The Best Digital Storytelling Tools ( web and desktop version ) then we deem it equally important to provide another list of such tools but this time for the iPad.

This post is really relevant to my education, because recently (in project and english) I have needed to make blogs or an online presentation for class. This infographic displays the benefits of using a slightly obscure (honestly, a bit like scoop.it) medium to do so. It offers a very reasonable argument for why to use their site for projects in class. I might even use Pinterest for my upcoming english project. -CB Delete the scoop?

We definitely need help to decide what app will work best for any given context. It is great to learn from other teachers how they are using apps in an actual classroom.
