TechTracks follow up

Last week before the Podcasting class I sounded less than enthusiastic about the use of podcasts, as far as my personal interest went about my current use of this technology. I have to report that the class was great and inspiring. There are so many ways that we could use podcasts and vodcasts to enhance our services and to share what we're doing with more people. I can think of several applications and I've already been asked about others by some other class attendees. I love the idea of making segments of our programs available online, of having a summer reading promotion on our web page, of having an online story or poetry reading. We're really only limited by our time, assuming our expertise would grow with experimentation. What ideas did you have?

Podcasting would be a wonderful way to broadcast library programs, especially for those patrons that could not come to the seminar. It would also be a great way for library staff to view continuing education seminars- hopefully the state library will podcast seminars soon.

I, too, was inspired after the podcasting training. So much so that I bought an iPod so I could download free podcasts to go! It would be great to get our teens involved in book review and teen events podcasts.

Seems like this session got lots of us thinking. I'm impressed that Nancy went out and bought an iPod. I haven't jumped yet, although I did find myself looking at the ads in the Sunday paper. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts and reactions.
