A happy new year to you all! Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends, I will be posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons the following week.
Voxopop – http://www.voxopop.com/
It is a simple, free web 2.0 way of sharing ideas by recording your own audio type podcasts and allows teachers and students to build up a threaded discussion that is all linked together.
It is so easy to use – I basically quickly set up an account and then created my first voxopop where I basically recorded some questions using the recording audio function on the site. I then could share the url with my students and get them to respond.
Here is the quick example from a Science lesson so you get the idea of how it works.

In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it only takes a minute…’
Happy Voxopop-ing all!
