Feel like gabbing?
Via Jessica Haxhi, an easy to use web-based voice recording tool. Gabcast is a free utility to create sound files by calling an 800 number from your phone. No advertising, easy interface. Took me all of 5 minutes to set up, record, and publish here. Audio files can be downloaded as MP3 files. Slick. Audio quality is acceptable – sounds like a phone. By clicking the link below you will be sent over to the Gabcast website. Theoretically, I could save the MP3 file and put it up on DivShare, which may be needed depending on the number and size of audio files allowed in Gabcast’s free account. But for now I will leave it as the code is presented by Gabcast.
Gabcast! Communicate #1
How could a world language teacher use this?
- -Students or teachers could call in and create audio files for use on blogs, wikis, or simple assignments.
- -Students could each create their own channel and create a library of audio files
- -Gabcast has a conference calling feature – I didn’t explore it much, but potentially teachers-students, or student-student could record a voice conversation via cell phone.
