Clyp: Review for a classroom purposes

I recently decided to look at Clyp, which is an audio tool, to see if I could use it in my classroom. This app was very easy to use and would be able to be used easily for students starting as a middle school age.

 I personally liked the way that this tool was set up and how easy it was to use. When you get on the app, it allows you to simply press upload, and then you can either choose a previous recording, or you can create one on the device you are using. It allows you to record a 360-minute recording and once you finish your recording, you can then upload it in an unlisted setting which allows the recording
to be for your eyes only. You can also add a description to your recording, a title, and a picture so that way you know what it is about. You can copy and paste the link so that way you can share it with people. Another thing that you cannot do on this site is getting an embedded link.

The cons to this site were that you have to create an account which you may need parents permission for. But you can easily have students register with a school email. Although I like this app, I did not like that you had to make sure you didn’t post it publically and that you have to use a link in order to show it to someone else.

I think this tool has a lot of use in a classroom. I do think that for myself personally, it would be hard for me to incorporate in my classroom because it would be an art class. One thing that I would use this for is to have my students use to record the comments given to them during a critique. I could have them add a picture and description of their work so that way they could look back at it and see what they need to improve on with their next project.

Overall, I would recommend this tool for a classroom and I think that it is easy to use. I feel that the students would be able to easily record what is necessary.
