audioBoo

This app is best used by teachers rather than pupils. It lets you record audio and uploads it to audioboo.fm where it can be embedded in blogs. Great for capturing short recordings of pupils explaining, reading out work or performances.  Use the iPhone version on an iPad as the iPad version only lets you listen to uploaded content.
