Audio Recordings for Google Classroom - Beep

Beep is a voice feedback Chrome Extension that allows you to record and listen to voice notes and audio comments all within Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Gmail.

You never need to leave Google Classroom, Google Docs, or Gmail to record and play the voice notes. Easily replicate one of the most essential parts of the in-person in-classroom experience in a remote learning setting - it's the missing piece in digital education.

🤔  Why voice feedback?

Voice feedback can take the friendliness and ease of in person feedback without the logistics of in person meetings and without the difficult and time consuming work of writing pitch-perfect feedback. It's a great tool for bridging the gap in "distance learning" and "remote teaching."

❓ Who’s it for?

🧑🏻‍🏫  Teachers and Educators
Use voice instructions to cut down on the time it takes you to create lessons and assignments.  Provide feedback to students on assessments, invent new assignments that utilize your students' voices, and communicate with students, parents, and fellow teachers in a faster, more personal way.

👩🏾‍💼  Administrators
Communicate with faculty and parents, and make sure there are no misunderstandings.

🙋‍♂️ Students
It can be difficult for some students to express themselves fully by writing. With voice notes they can convey more to teachers and students, enriching the learning experience and giving students more confidence that they are being heard.
