You’re
probably wondering what is Voxer? Well
simply put, it’s a walkie talkie app that lets you talk to anyone anytime. All
you need is the app that can be downloaded for free on both iPhone and Android
devices. The app allows you to use voice,
text, and photos for as a great group messaging tool. What’s great about this
professional tool is that you can instantly communicate with Physical Education
professionals from all over the world. Of course, there are upgrades that cost
money. I use the free subscription and for me that’s all I need. If you’re
looking to upgrade you can do that too for a cost. You can upgrade to Voxer Pro
for $3.99 a month or $29.00 a year to add extras like larger group chats, share
from Dropbox, increased storage, Walkie Talkie mode (instantly receive messages
even when you’re not in the app) and downloading messages to your desktop or
laptop.
If you think
this would work for you here is how you can get started.
Watch this
great youtube tutorial by Jo Bailey
(@LovePhyEd). She explains how to download the app and everything you need
to get started with this awesome professional development collaboration tool.

nice!
That's the great news to hear. I have never heard about this opportunity - to have professors at hand! :) Thanks for a profound guidelines!
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. I’ll give you a link on your web blog. I recently came to know about http://dignosco.org/, their Education Websites are very effective.
Education Websites Thanks for sharing.
