Thing 25 – Summary of podcasts and video

I really liked Denver Public Library’s use of podcasts to read some stories to children. What a fun option! Yet, given the choice I think it’s more important to read aloud and in person to a child and not stick them in front of a computer. Maybe these would be good for long trips – load them on to an MP3 player and you’re off!

I also looked at The Library Channel by Arizona State University. There was a good teaching opportunity with a podcast on how to do research online. As an occasional-use type of thing, this could be fun and useful. I don’t believe I’d enjoy the delivery on a regular basis, like in a weekly class.
