The session "Mote Magic: Maximize Impact, Minimize Time Part 2," presented by Jordana Kaiser at MoteCon 2024, offers educators innovative ways to effectively utilize the Mote voice recording tool. This session focuses on helping educators save time while maximizing the impact of their communications with students, parents, and colleagues.
• QR codes make Mote accessible to everyone without the need for additional programs.
• Use Mote QR codes to create personalized voice notes for students and parents.
• Mote QR codes can enhance student ownership and engagement in classroom activities.
• The use of Mote templates simplifies the creation and distribution of voice recordings.
• Teachers can leverage Mote to provide personalized feedback during events like back-to-school nights.
One of the standout features of Mote is the ability to create QR codes that link directly to voice recordings. This feature allows educators to share voice notes without requiring the recipient to have any special software. QR codes can be placed on thank you notes, classroom displays, or even used in personal settings.
Jordana Kaiser highlights the versatility of Mote QR codes by sharing how she uses them in her personal life. Whether it's a thank you note for a teacher or a voice message from a child, Mote QR codes make these communications memorable and accessible. For instance, a child can attach a voice recording to a card for their teacher, creating a lasting memory.
In the classroom, Mote QR codes serve as a powerful tool for student engagement. Students can record their thoughts on a topic, such as their favorite book, and these recordings can be displayed on a classroom wall. This practice empowers students to take ownership of their learning and allows visitors to hear directly from the students during learning walks.
To streamline the process of creating and sharing voice recordings, Jordana recommends using Mote templates. These templates allow educators to quickly generate QR codes for each recording, which can then be printed and displayed as needed.
1. Open the Mote QR code template link and click "Use Template" to create a new template in Google Slides.
2. Title the template according to its use, such as for a reading wall or student project.
3. Record the voice note using Mote and generate a QR code by clicking "Share" and then "QR Code."
4. Save the QR code and drag it into the Mote template.
5. Repeat for each student or recording as needed.
Teachers can use Mote templates for a variety of purposes, from creating student feedback to preparing for open house events. By recording personalized Mote notes, educators can provide meaningful interactions with students and parents, even outside of regular classroom hours.
