Learning Resources Recordable Answer Buzzers Title: A Game Changer for Classroom Instructions! I recently brought the Learning Resources Recordable Answer Buzzers for my classroom, and they have been an absolute game-changer! I use these buzzers to record instructions for various lessons. For example, I can push the button to record and say, "Today your Station Activity is to... yada yada yada." Recording is incredibly easy, and the button is simple to push for replaying the audio. While the audio can be a little hard to hear at times, my students are still able to understand the instructions. This tool has been particularly helpful for students who are not yet able to read. Instead of coming to me repeatedly for directions, they can just push the button and hear the instructions again. Genius! These buzzers have made my classroom more efficient and have allowed me to focus on helping students with more complex tasks. I highly recommend them for any educator looking to streamline their teaching process and provide accessible instructions for all students.

Bought these for my dog so he could indicate when he needs things and he learned to use them fast! He now presses the button for when he needs outside, water, or his favorite toy the laser. People are always amused when they come to the house and see my dog use the buttons for the first time. Easy to record voice and the batteries have lasted quite a long time!

These add to the fun playing games and work well!

These recordable buzzers are hilarious and were perfect for our couples game night. Record any sound you want!

They are practical and easy to use. I used them in my classroom for our trivia quizzes and the kids love the fact that they can personalize them.

We bought eight of these, in all, and scattered them around the house so our dogs could communicate their needs (the one that simply says "Outside!" gets a lot of use). Some reviewers report that the audio quality isn't great - and they are mostly correct. As assembled, you have to record sound (probably your voice) through a tiny hole drilled in the side of the button housing. If you have a tiny Phillips head screwdriver, and aren't afraid of taking your toys apart, you can really improve both the volume and clarity of your recordings. Each "button" has a plastic base with all of the electronics attached, the big button that you press to play the sound, and a plastic ring (same color as the base) that holds everything together. Pry off the rubber pads on the bottom of each "button" and remove the screws that are hidden underneath. Hold onto the side of the ring housing and press the button and the base through the ring. -- a little (probably red) little piece of plastic will likely fall out, too; this is the little knob that presses against the recording button on the electronics package. It's not necessary at all -- On the side of the electronics, you'll see a little rectangular white button next to a little silver drum with a flat black surface. The white button is the "record" button, and that black circle is your microphone (notice that it is HUGE, compared with the tiny hole you are "supposed to " speak through). Hold the electronics a few inches from your mouth, press and hold the button, and speak normally. It will likely work best if you wait a second or two to begin speaking, so don't rush. When you put everything back together, you really only need to use two of the screws, there's no need to put all four back in. And you can stick the rubber feet on anywhere ... you don't have to cover up the screws. This makes it a lot easier to change the recording, if you want.
