Cassidy Uhl is a student in Don Wettrick\u2019s<\/a> Innovation class at Noblesville HS, and was chosen to join 15 other students in an educational trip to California, dubbed ‘Calivation’.<\/p>\n

The group of young entrepreneurs used Voxer to communicate as they traveled from Indiana to Silicon Valley, with visits to Stanford, Facebook, Google, and the Voxer HQ. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Cassidy has her own blog<\/a>\u00a0and acts as a primary writer for The Throne Media<\/a>. In a guest post she shared the group’s experience with Voxer during their time in California.<\/p>\n

\n

I never quite knew what to tell my teachers when they asked where they could reach me.<\/p>\n

I never checked my email, my phone number seemed too personal, educational messaging often lags, and having a meeting in person sometimes seems too complicated.<\/p>\n

When my teacher suggested getting Voxer, I was apprehensive. It seemed similar to just giving out my phone number.<\/p>\n

However, when I was added to a group chat with my 15 other \u2018Calivation\u2019 companions, I soon became a huge fan.<\/p>\n

Using Voxer added a special spin to trip planning that was much more immediate. It was just as efficient as texting, but with the occasional stern \u201cNo\u201d from our teacher, or caring comment from a fellow student.<\/p>\n

The voice element added emotion and drew us closer together.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the trip when we got lost, Voxer made for much faster communication and enabled the drivers to speak without compromising safety. The location-finding feature allowed us to never miss a scene, as we could easily find each other.<\/p>\n

When dialogue or direction was missed, it could be easily replayed with the tap of a button that would stream the conversation until the most recent message.<\/p>\n

And when we had less necessity to be organized and could focus on fun, Voxer morphed into a teenager with us.<\/p>\n

We sent unexpected pictures, teased, and confessed all in minutes on the app.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed Voxer so much that our phones buzzed nonstop!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though the trip has now ended, we continue to talk over Voxer, and always share our Voxer love with others!<\/p>\n
