Voxopop: this tools allows to create "voice chatboards". Students can record themselves talking about a topic and respond to one another. Teachers can leave speaking assignments or even reply to students recordings. They can also create chain stories or even present different topics. Here's how I used it:
After reading a book chapter on language learning, students record their opinion and how they would apply the concepts discussed in their own teaching practice. In this way, students practised their oral skills, used voabulary related to education and integrated theory and practise. For these students, this task was useful because they needed to practise speaking skills (fluency, pronunciation, accuracy) as they were undergraduate Early Childhood students who would be teaching English to very young learners.
Babblerize: I'm a lecturer in Materials Design and as part of their e-portfolio, students recorded some final thoughts about the subject they attended. One of my students, Marilú Rodriguez, chose this web tool which allows you the possibility of creating "talking photos". Here's an example:
Fotobabble: by using this tool you can also create "talking photos". After exploring the use of visuals in the classroom, my students chose a royalty free image, edited in Photofunia and created a talking photo. They included their reflections on the task. Take a look at this example by Celeste Fernandez Goncalves:
Vocaroo: after discussing the use of podcasts and
authentic materials in the lesson and the use of editing software such
as Audacity, students used Vocaroo to record a message about the
integration of digital audios in their lessons. In this example you will
listen to Roxana Da Silva talking about that.
