week 9, Thing 23

This program has been great. I really like reading everyone's blogs! - and have learned a lot from them too. It is going to be exciting to see how we use these Web 2.0 technologies for both the library patrons and the library staff.

week 9, Thing 22

I checked out Project Gutenberg audio books. I enjoyed listening to some of the poetry - I prefer hearing poetry to reading it, so I think I will use this again.

week 9, Thing 21

I added the ASU Libraries: Library Channel podcasts to my Bloglines account. (The ASU Library Channel has lots of podcasts on topics like copyright, library events, grants and library innovations.) It took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I think it works.

I am pretty inspired by the ways some libraries are using podcasts - especially the story times for kids. (I can remember calling over the telephone for library story time when I was younger!) This might be a great way to provide a story time in Spanish for kids? I can also see elementary school teachers playing the a podcast of story times in class.

I'd like to create a quick podcast of my own just to practice - I will try to come back to that later.
