Practise SPEAKING with Sketchcast

I had alredy seen this tool via Russell Stannard @russell1955 but had never given it a go.

It's incredibly simple, you register freely, and click to create your recording. Choose the option of the audio, give it a title and start recording. You can listen to a preview before publishing. As soon as it's published you're offered an embed code for publishing. During the sketcast you can record yourself while you draw and type.

My trial was something simple to talk about my nuclear family



HOW CAN WE USE THIS SITE WITH STUDENTS?
  • have students record sketchcasts and describe their families, their bedroom, their house, a town scene, their city.
  • students can also talk about any given topic you propose while they scribble.
  • for groups, you can create a channel where all students can add their sketches.
