Anchor- A Tool for Creating Educational Podcasts

Anchor- A Tool for Creating Educational Podcasts | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

If you are looking for a good and free tool to create educational podcasts, Anchor is definitely one of the options I would recommend. First, Anchor is easy to use: simply log in to your account on the web or install the mobile app (supports both Android and iOS) and start recording using your device-integrated mic or an external one. You can also import recorded audio you have on other apps and use it with your own recordings.

Increase student engagement with podcasts

Increase student engagement with podcasts | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Much of the research on whether students are more engaged when using podcasts and other multimedia tools has so far focused mainly on college students. It’s been shown that some students, especially those who reported low levels of interest in the course, are more engaged when using podcasts in combination with traditional education tools. Until more research is done in K-12, we can assume that these results translate to younger students as well.

Not a great fan of the podcast myself, but seems to be research here to support their use.

Digital Literacy Coaching in the Mobile Environment: Challenges and Opportunities for Outreach | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

In this age of the ubiquitous mobile device, information and digital literacy skills remain as essential as they have always been for critical thinking. However, in mobile spaces, it is often difficult for librarians and other information professionals to create pathways for the acquisition of these skills. It can be especially challenging in this environment to construct training spaces for outreach populations. Even so, the mobile environment can be as exciting as it is taxing.

How podcasts can improve literacy

How podcasts can improve literacy | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I’m going to confess, I did not bring podcasts into my English classroom with any intention of improving my students’ literacy skills. The idea came from a more selfish place: My wife and I were enthralled by the first few episodes of Serial, and I wanted to share our excitement for the amazing story with my students. Like almost everybody, they were hooked by the pilot episode and begged me for more.
