Week# 5-Podcasting

This week we are learning about podcasting. I like podcasting and I enjoy watching them. Just like everything else there are bad podcasts and good ones. Now, I'm not saying that you have to be Steven Spielberg to do a podcast but atleast have the basics down. There are certain elements that should be present when you are doing one, and loud noises and dark backgrounds are not okay. It is amazing what people will podcast and some of the most interesting ones are ones that people make up. One of the best that I have seen was a woman standing on the table singing and then she fell off. It had me crying, it was so funny.


I think that podcasting could be useful to libraries, a number of libraries are already doing them, including school libraries. There are lots of uses for them and I sure that we can find ways to use them here. My one question is who will do them and how much staff time will go into them?
