Hello All

Here is the list of podcasts I have compiled so far. With three little ones running around it’s about as good as it is going to get!!!

1. William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum
2. LibVibe: the library news podcast
3. 23 Web 2.0 Things for Library Staff
4. Dictionary.com Word Explorer
5. Learn Spanish with Coffee Break Spanish
6. exploring media literacy
7. Roadrunner Radio – elementary school daily show

Moving along with School Library Journal’s All Together Now Learning 2.0 I have come to an issue that has interested me for a long time. Podcasts have endless possibilities within the school library media setting. I envision utilizing them as a product for WebQuests. I would also like to use them for student book reviews.

I tried Podcaster and Podcast Alley. I found some very interesting podcasts on Podcast Alley and have added them to my newly established podcast.com account. I’ll add some of them in my next blog.

I always prided myself on being tech-savvy but boy am I behind the times! In our informaiton rich world RSS is an essential tool when you are trying to find information “quickly and easily”!! I utilized “My Yahoo” since I already had a Yahoo account. It has been very easy to use and I have added several SLJ sources already — what a great way to keep current!!!

I am now mulling over several ideas on how I can share this information with my students and colleagues.
