Wish your voice could be in more than one place at once? The A5 Talking Cloud by Hope Education will help that to be a reality. With the capability to record up to 10 seconds of audio and the ability to write down additional notes using the dry wipe surface, the A5 Talking Cloud is a fantastic teacher companion in the classroom and beyond.
You can use the Talking Cloud to record instructions for pupils or use as a speaking and listening resource. Pupils can easily record their own audio using the record button on the back and playback button on the front.
- Leave personalised instructions for tasks and provide added support using a dry wipe pen on the surface of the Talking Card to leave additional notes.
- Incorporate into intervention sessions and catch-up group activities.
- Allow pupils to provide an audio self-assessment of their work and provide verbal feedback in return using the Talking Cloud.
- Incorporate a fun and interesting way of approaching speaking and listening, and allow pupils the ability to re-record their answers, taking away the panic of speaking and listening tasks.
Replace the batteries (3 x AG13, included) easily and use the Talking Card infinitely in your classroom.
