Anchor
Anchor by Spotify is the platform my group (Erin, Ana, and myself) used to publish our podcast. We created our podcast on how teachers can successfully implement and manage their own classroom library. I prefer Anchor because I have used it in the past, and it is straightforward to use and navigate for beginners. It is also the platform I have found that has the easiest way to add background music to our recordings.

Erin Bowman, Ana Lopez, and I collaborated on what we wanted to share in our podcast. Erin wrote the podcast, Ana read and recoded it, and I added the background music to our finished product.

We also used Anchor for our podcast. I agree that it was the easiest to use for beginners. I struggled with the other tools I tried to use. I tried Audacity but it was way over my head! I also tried Zencastr and thought that was the one, but after I recorded it, I could not figure out how to edit, add music, or share. I felt very intimidated by this assignment. You did a great job on the podcast and shared some great tips!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had known about Anchor before creating my podcast. I used Podbean because I had used it before. It is simple to use, but I have not found a way to edit or add music. Also, as a reading teacher, I found the information in your podcast be helpful in improving my classroom library. Thanks for sharing the information!
