Voice tools are expanding and transforming access to learning in the auditory realm like never before.

The speech to text tool within Google Drive has dramatically improved.  Below are a few ways you might want to consider using it to enhance the ways you give students feedback, or student learning. Speech to text is also useful for students that are auditory learners.

• Voice comments for feedback-Consider replacing your red pen or written comments for conversational style feedback
• Voice comments for conversation- Get a thread going between you and your students within the actual document they are working on
• Provide auditory input for students outside of class-For language learners, pronunciation and word choice is often tricky. By capturing your voice they can replace your voice as many times as necessary, something that in class would be quite awkward for you and the students:)

TRY IT and add your voice comments within this Google doc.
