Realio Trulio!

Realio Trulio, I haven’t forgotten my goal to complete the ATN things!  But, am a whole week behind….but for a realio trulio good reason- my mumsie was visiting from out of state.  It was such great fun, too!  Now, just as Custard the Dragon was victorious in the end…….so shall I!!!!

I love the whole idea of podcasting- info coming to me, only the new stuff coming, getting the information hands free, perhaps while I am undertaking some other task that must be done- it is a multi-taskers dream, I suppose!  I have an ipod but I haven’t been using it- this has motivated me to brush the dust off and put it to work.  One podcast that I checked out was “The Teacher’s Podcast” at http://teacherspodcast.org/.  Pretty interesting but the reason I mention it here is they are having a podcasting contest!  Due by August 15, the details are on the top bar of the website- under contests.  Although it is primarily for teachers, I know there are lots of SLMer’s out there and seems like a fun way to practice some podcasting.  Wouldn’t that be something if one of us newbie’s won….

One way I think creating a podcast would work at our library: Podcasting how to access databases and which databases are useful in which situations.  Or, adding a podcast of our weekly storytimes to put on our website- that would be fun!

I know there must be a way to add a link to a word- so it goes directly to the site, but I can’t seem to find it and my google search for the answer lead me nowhere- help!  (Like I could say…..the contest is here and clicking would go here:

Bookishly yours,
