Material Detail

Giving good quality feedback is one of the most important things teachers do for students, but it can be so time-consuming, so most teachers don’t give nearly enough. A tool like Mote makes it easier to give feedback faster. It’s a Google Chrome extension that lets you add voice comments in the comment field of any Google Doc, Slide presentation, spreadsheet, or inside the Google Classroom environment.

Using voice instead of writing is not only faster; it’s also more personal. Students will hear your actual voice rather than having to read dry, written comments. And with all the subtleties that voice offers, you have a much better chance of communicating your message clearly, rather than being misinterpreted, which can easily happen with written communication.

The free version of Mote is great, but with the paid plan you get a longer time limit for comments, auto-generated comment transcriptions, and the ability to save voice comments for re-use in an online library.

This will delete the comment from the database. This operation is not reversible. Are you sure you want to do it?
