Are you looking for a quick and easy way to send or receive a personal audio message? Google Talk (Gtalk), Google's alternative to Skype lets you record messages of up to ten minutes and email them as an mp3 file. If the recipient uses Gmail then the audio can even be played directly from the message without needing any extra software (more info on how to use Gtalk to send voicemail).
This could be a useful tool to send or receive homework or task based activities or it could be used for a partial class recording etc. For more ideas see how people are using the audio recording service vocaroo.com
For more control you could send the voicemail to your own email address and forward it (perhaps using a different "from" address). Gtalk also works with Google Apps.
Gtalk is only available for Windows at the time of writing. Although most features are now available in Gmail via a web browser the "Send Voicemail" feature isn't!
