Mobile Learning Apps : Edpuzzle and Audioboom

Mobile learning apps or digital tools enhance language learning in engaging, interactive environments. The Argentinian Journal of Applied Linguistics published a paper in which three apps are suggested to try in the classrooms:  Kahoot,  Edpuzzle and  Audioboom.

These digital tools provide students with the opportunity to work on a variety of  language skills independently, and also interactively. Every app is suitable for any level of proficiency in English and
can easily be adapted to meet individual learning differences and styles.

We have already presented Kahoot, so now we will introduce Edpuzzle and  Audioboom. Using the first one you can turn any video into an interactive and engaging lesson. While AudioBoom is a voice-based, audio podcast and social sharing platform that allows you to record, listen to and publish unlimited podcasts or audio files.

You can find more information, tutorials and examples of using them in the complete paper published in The Argentinian Journal of Applied Linguistics.



Our own Edpuzzles:

George Washington Biography Quiz: Revise the information of the first president of the United States.

AUDIOBOOM

It is a voice-based, audio podcast and social sharing platform that allows you to record, listen to and publish unlimited podcasts or audio files. You can also follow podcasts from a variety of sports and media broadcasters, such as the BBC, NFL, or the Premier League, as well as purchase audiobooks, available through the online store on the audioBoom website.

This platform allows users to share and embed their content in other websites and mobile applications like Facebook, Google+, Twitter and in email, making it much more dynamic, interconnected and fun. Like many of the web-based tools, audioBoom started as a website that soon after their initial success, evolved into an application for iOS and Android devices.
