This is an awesome tool! I can see the many benefits it would have for students who can easily explain something, but when they start to write it they get very frustrated and struggle to focus. I can also see a huge use in this for teachers. I know we have voice memos and other note taking devices, but this may make our job of creating virtual assignments a little bit quicker. Thanks for sharing this tool, I had never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great resource! I feel it would benefit students who have processing disorders, who are English Language Learners, or who have speech impairments to work on. The uses you laid out are also great for the class as a whole, especially the one about journaling thoughts and ideas for writing time. Thanks for sharing this tool!

I've never heard of this tool and it seems like a wonderful resource! This tool could benefit so many of my students who have trouble with executive functioning or some of their basic typing skills. I have students who have some pretty big speech impairments as well and I think this could be a really great tool to continue to work on their speech goals. Thanks for sharing!
