week 9

Well you can tell I am rushing to get this done. Just saved a lengthy post instead of publishing and I lost it. No, it’s not under drafts. The middle schoolers willl be here soon so I will abbreviate.

Looked at everthing. Found a learning french podcast with 116 or was it more lessons. Problem that I have with podcasting is that there is no visual. For instance, on the french lessons iI guess I’d rather see the text or at least the people interacting. Kind of boring to just listen and look at a blank screen. ditto for all the storytime podcasts. Can’t imagine my daughter ever sitting still to listen to one of them. OK, she is 18 but when she was little, it would never have worked.

Saw the vodcast “library” which was essentially showing bullying going on outside PHL. Guess that is the problem since you can’t control what is out there and you have to “self filter”. really didn’t enjoy the welcome on Podcast.com even though i did laugh when the woman fell over.  Loved the zoombie vodcast but the sound quality, at least here at the library was poor. explored science fiction and fiction, food which led to food science which was interesting since it was a video. featured vodcast -” If you ever need blood”

Alyson Matthews has had me listen to a lot of our storytime Podcasts since she records most of them.

 

Future uses. We’ll see.
