Beep is a voice feedback Chrome Extension that allows you to record and listen to voice notes and audio comments all within Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Gmail.
You never need to leave Google Classroom, Google Docs, or Gmail to record and play the voice notes. Easily replicate one of the most essential parts of the in-person in-classroom experience in a remote learning setting - it's the missing piece in digital education.
🤔 Why voice feedback?
Voice feedback can take the friendliness and ease of in person feedback without the logistics of in person meetings and without the difficult and time consuming work of writing pitch-perfect feedback. It's a great tool for bridging the gap in "distance learning" and "remote teaching."

This a great way to give quality feedback and provide reasoning verbally from teachers to student. I just got this app and in the process have already received word of appreciation from one of my students about feedback on their writing.
I was telling my staff that I wished someone had invented an app that allowed me to use voice messages to comment on my teachers lesson plans. It turns out that is already exists. This has made my life so much easier.
Beep is an excellent chrome extension. I use it myself and have introduced it to my learners. I teach French to adults, so they can return their reading and speaking tasks by recording themselves via Google classroom. I would suggest however, if you could get it to work on Pdf and PowerPoint and also to extend the recording time to up to 5 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
