Vox Me Maybe - Share Your Voice #KidsDeserveIt

Voice Is Powerful and People Are Listening

   

Ok, so you’ve been connecting. You’ve been on Twitter. You’re sharing your ideas, interacting with others, learning tons! But now what? What do you do when you want to have conversations with others you’ve met online, but 140 characters just won’t cut it? What about when you become really passionate about something and you don’t want your ideas to get misinterpreted through text?

In the last couple of years we’ve begun connecting with others using a tool called “Voxer”. The easiest way to describe Voxer is like your virtual walkie-talkie.

Here’s what Superintendent Joe Sanfelippo (out of Wisconsin) has to say about Voxer! The more we interact with others online, the more we’ve found the need to flesh out our ideas more clearly, through actual conversations.

Just as Twitter made everyone so easily accessible, Voxer does the exact same thing.

You need to be on tools like Voxer so that you can begin to have those more in-depth and necessary conversations to push our practices and thinking. Because we all know that Kids Deserve It.

Why Voxer? 

- It allows you to communicate without the constraints of 140 characters.
- You can listen to Voxes whenever the time allows. It’s an incredibly easy tool to communicate with co-workers and groups of people.
- Allows you the opportunity to discuss more complex ideas with others from around the globe at a moments notice.
