Why should I use Podcast in the Library?
Podcasts give students an opportunity to learn
information in other ways besides just reading. Students should be experiencing
various forms of media such as reading, watching videos or TV and listening to
the radio or podcasts. Podcasts,
particularly ones that tell a story, engage young people in unique ways.
What Tech Tools can I use to Create Podcast?

Students can create their own podcasts. Students can also search a host of
resources from media and educational outlets. Students and teachers can create free
accounts.
Podbean
Is a tech tool used to create podcast. It is user-friendly
and offers free and premium plans. It allows the user to upload to podcasts
apps like Google and iTunes. It also has beginner-friendly set up that takes
you step by step. It also has tutorials that the user can view to help create
podcasts. It also creates a page that host the podcast and is interactive for viewers
to leave comments. This is a great site to create a class podcast webpage to
share students podcast with peer, parents, and the community.
Anchor
Is a tech tool that allows educators and students to
use their smart phone to create, download and post podcast. This tech tool is readily
available. Majority of students have phones and many schools are BYOD (Bring
your own device). The app allows the user to instantly create, edit, and
publish their podcast. It also allows the user to upload directly to Twitter
and Facebook. The feature that I think
is the most efficient it allows you to upload music from iTunes or Spotify to
use on your podcast. Below is an example of the podcast created using the web
app Anchor.
