Podcasts

When checking out SOUNDCLOUD, audioBoom, and PodOmatic (podcast sites) I found that I prefer SOUNDCLOUD over the other choices. I didn't like the way that PodOmatic was set up, so I didn't explore this site as much as the other two sites. SOUNDCLOUD seemed to be the easiest of the three podcast sites to use. Another plus with that site was that my husband had previously used the site to create a few podcasts for his student teaching. Thought SOUNDCLOUD was easiest to use, I really liked how audioBoom had the larger pictures above each podcast. Teachers and librarians can use podcasts in a variety of ways with their students. 1.) Listening center 2.) To give lesson when you have a substitute. 3.) Student activities/projects 4.) Homework lesson or instructions When making a podcast on SOUNDCLOUD you need to take the following steps: login, click UPLOAD in the black strip on the top right of the screen/page, then choose file to upload OR Start new recording, save to your collection. I am unable to link or enable my podcast, but have included the link below so you can copy, cut, paste, and hear it. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/nicole-morrissey-428674478/fables-the-tortoise-and-the

  3. I had to agree with you on SoundCloud. I thought it was just me, but the others had too many steps.
