Google Voice for Running Record

Looking for a quick and easy way to share your students' reading with their parents. One of the tools that all classrooms have is a phone. Google voice does all the work for you. If you do not have a Google Voice account yet, make sure to watch the video and find out how to get set up.

Once you have your Google number, have your student use the phone to call your Google Number and record. After your student is done, simply hang up the phone and you will instantly recieve your student's voicemail in your Google Voice inbox. You can choose to embed this voicemail on a website/blog or what I prefer, send via email to parents. This is an easy way to monitor/share progress in fluency. In addition, kids can monitor their growth as a reader.
