Using Voice/video tools can also be a great way to bring some novelty into the learning strategy. There are several tools available online, which are fairly simle to use and students usually respond well to it.

Springdoo can be used to create a video or audio message.

lt is a good alternative to Springdoo. It allows learners to respond in an organized way, through a thread.

TIP:

• If you only want to use voice or don't have a webcam, answer yes in step 1, and record your message al the same. I have tried and it works! ;-)
• For Gabmail preferably use InternetExplorer or Safari. Firefox usually offers problems with this tool!
