Have you heard about Anchor<\/a>, the latest micro-podcasting app? I’ve heard about it four\u00a0\u00a0days ago on Ben Leonard’s Scope. Piqued with curiosity, I downloaded the app on iOS. What I’ve discovered that it’s the world first public radio that optimize interactivity and global sharing with users worldwide. You can record your micro-podcast (referred to as ‘wave’), use hashtags to categorize it and share with the masses. Anyone with Anchor account can respond to your wave by recording their replies to you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My Anchor’s account, listing number of likes, plays and my shared waves and replies from other users.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An example of wave of Joel Comm who\u00a0I’m following on Wave. It can be a question, annotation, reflection, rant or anything under the sun.<\/p>\n While exploring Anchor, I thought the abundance of potentials of micro-podcasting in teaching and learning. As it’s a 2-minutes wave recording, I reckon it would be a great social media tool for speaking skills, pronunciation, ennunciation, vocabulary and thinking skills. Since this app is relatively new, I twitted on Anchor recently and decided to kickstart \u00a0AnchorEd, a micro podcast show on education. Check out my waves below:<\/p>\n The 1st episode : How Anchor can support teaching & learning<\/p>\n http:\/\/anchor.fm\/w\/99A43C<\/a><\/p>\n The 2nd episode : To MOOC or not to MOOC?<\/p>\n![\"FullSizeRender](\"http:\/\/fadzleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/FullSizeRender-1-199x326.jpg\")
