Mote

 

Verbal feedback is powerful, effective, and efficient.  Research has shown that students are three times more likely to implement verbal feedback rather than written.
Mote is a Chrome extension that lets you easily add voice comments and feedback to shared documents and assignments. 

Mote is integrated into Google Docs, Slides and Sheets, as well as Google Classroom, for easy recording and playback. You can create voice notes for any website or application using the 'motepad' within the mote Chrome extension menu - simply click on the browser icon to access.

In Docs: Insert a comment, click the Mote icon and record!  Students see a message with a clickable link to hear your voice note.

In Slides: Click the Mote icon in the menu bar and follow the prompts.  When finished, place the icon where you’d like and use the format options to set how you would like it to play.  You can also change the image to something more appropriate for the slide deck. (right click-replace image)

In Forms: Click on the Mote icon in any question to create a recording of the question.  Currently, there is one Mote per question.
