Comments on: New ideas from Internet librarian workshop http://futura.edublogs.org/2006/10/23/new-ideas/ technology, libraries, and schools Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:49:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Carolyn http://futura.edublogs.org/2006/10/23/new-ideas/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Carolyn Fri, 27 Oct 2006 11:38:28 +0000 http://futura.edublogs.org/2006/10/23/new-ideas/#comment-8 One use I heard about at the conference was using it with Itunes books. The librarians downloaded a set of books onto the Ipod and then checked them out to reluctant readers. I am thinking about how to work on this with a couple of teachers I have in mind whose students would be receptive I think. They also had students record their book reviews as Podcasts. I have to look up their website so I can post it for you--I think it was Summit Middle School Library. I liked the idea of sharing podcasts that are accessible on the computer too, so teachers could assign them or bring a class into the lab. The presenters mentioned a site that collects Museum podcasts, and the ones they showed us had GREAT applications for the classroom. Sounds great! I'm eager to see what we can do with this!

I wonder if any one would want to test it out to see it it works. I just read an article in Tech Learning magazine that gives a step-by-step way to create and publish a podcast. I am tired of talking about it and ready to do it. I also received 2 Ipods today from PTO. I have spent tonight downloading some Foreign Language podcasts to them. Next week, I will check them out to some of our FL teachers to see if they could use them. I don't know the results and don't have any ideas about what can happen with them. But I am ready to test them out. Will keep you updated, of course! I like the wiki concept. I wonder if any one would want to test it out to see it it works.
