#20 Podcasting

I have successfully added the OPAL Podcast to my Blog. I didn't really know much about Podcasting before this session - I thought I did, but hadn't given it much consideration and thought it was simply a voice recording. I know that a number of teachers use Podcasting within the classroom and my first impression was why use Podcasts when you could have You Tube but on further investigation I of course discovered that one of the main differences is the RSS ability of Podcasting. Thinking about this, I could use this for lots of things within the Library situation - Book reviews, coming events, Visiting author talks, guest readers of short stories, etc. I do like this idea and will give this a try once our new web site is up and running.
