Thing 21

Podcasts might fit in the old category of "if you can't beat'em, join 'em!" We are constantly fighting the battle of the ear buds with many of our students.

Each of the directories that were listed has its strengths and weaknesses. The end result with all of them is that there are lots of interesting podcasts out there but it takes a lot of digging to find what you really need. I happened to come across one on Parenting Your Teen and added the RSS feed to my list; I may recommend it to our Child Development teacher and guidance counselors. I would like to help develop a "new students" orientation podcast for our school and maybe some library how-to's.

I recently noticed a new icon on Kate's library blog and discovered that it is now available as a podcast. When I looked up the source, I learned that Odiogo will convert your blog to audio for FREE. It's a computer generated voice but it's not too bad.
