Woices is a website and Smartphone (Android and iPhone) Application that allows users to record audio for locations on a map. When you create an account you locate the area on the map and then you can upload an image of the area on the map and then record audio where you tell about that place. Woices would be a valuable tool to use for students going on a field trip or for geography teachers to have students tell about landmarks in foreign countries. You could also have students create Woices for their hometowns where they talk about landmarks and history.
