The music website of this week is https://123apps.com/. I first found this website through the tech guru Tony Vincent. Tony was writing about how to make a QR code that plays your voice. He mentions the website online-voice-recorder.com to make a quick audio recording that can download to your hard drive (or Google Drive if your students are working on a chromebook). I decided to check out the site.
123apps.com
When I researched online-voice-recorder.com, I found out that it was just one portion of a larger website called https://123apps.com/. 123APPS hosts 10 free web apps that run in the browser. I used Chrome browser successfully with these apps. Therefore, these apps can be used by a teacher on their computer/laptop or by a student on a chromebook. A breakdown of the apps are as follows:
