![]() Audioboom Audioboom is a platform which enables its users to create and share audio content. Audioboom and early reading Audioboom can be used by students to help with their reading. Teachers can record their students reading aloud and then together they can listen to the recording and reflect on any issues the child may have had. The teacher can also record the student several months on and then show them the initial recording, highlighting the progress they have since made. Other uses for Audioboom in the classroom The fact that it is so quick and easy to use means that students can make podcasts during the class in response to what the teacher has said. For example, in a plenary the teacher may ask the students to summarise 3 things they have learned from the lesson which the student could record in their podcast. The teacher could then listen to these podcasts after the lesson and it could help them see which students had met the learning objectives. Students could also use Audioboom to record a podcast as part of a project or maybe at home in response to a question the teacher may have given as a piece of homework. The vast amount of podcasts already available on Audioboom means that it can also be used by students to independently research certain topics too. For example, when I searched for the Iron Age, lots of results came up for podcasts about the topic. Whilst doing normal internet searches appeals to the visual learners, conducting research like this has the added advantage of appealing to auditory learners, who often get forgotten.
