Dockery's Tips
Find a quiet place for your students to record their audio (spread out!)
Have them write out a script.
Keep the scripts short and to the point (proof it and give feedback)
Ask them to brainstorm icons and photos to go along with each topic
Break long sentences or ideas into chucks with an image for each idea
Listen to each recording and re-record if necessary
If students are doing it individually, use headsets
** If you are having difficulty searching for icons/photos it is because your school district is blocking the sites Voice uses to search. Icons come from the "Noun Project" and photos come from Pixabay and Flikr.
