podcasts

I found this to be very frustrating b/c none of the free sites I visited would play so I had to go to the itune site and it took a long time to download. i did not find anything pertaining to book reviews or library news.

This technology I feel can be a useful tool for students in school and out b/c they can see more of the world and live pixes of what they are studying/interested in. This shows them there is a whole world out there beyond their backyard.I am sure this can be useful to libraries as well b/c they can incorporate these images into wonderful programs, pictures kids can use for homework, or displays to make the library more interesting. The site I downloaded was Geophoto which shows the earth in 3d. I saved it to my desktop

From what I did see from the descriptions on the free sites they have good educational sites like stuffedsheets.com that help with math.

you tube

I really liked the Yahoo video site. It can be helpful in the children's dept to view and see what other people have to say about movies before renting/showing them to children. This gives us more options than Swank. We will showing Ratatouille this month so here is a preview. What do you think?



I found it easy to navigate through this site.



I just love this video rabbit vs snake.It shows the not so strong can overcome the strong sometimes. Keep your head up. Go rabbit. This site can show educational things as well like shark water. This site and others like it can display all the activities the library does so kids can think of the library as a fun place to be. Maybe one day we can put on a puppet show and put it on you tube.
