Thing 19 Podcasting

Which podcasts did you find interesting?
(Be sure to include links in your blog entry to the podcasts mentioned.)

Just One More Book

Storynory
http://storynory.com/


Identify one or two podcasts and describe how you would use them in your work.

Just One More Book is a fun source for book reviews that is searchable by topic, audience,(age group), discussions, format (picture book, chapter book, etc.), illustrations, and even values (i.e. acceptance, forgiveness, honesty etc.). This would be useful for keeping up on new publications, and also as a resource for questions from teachers about book recommendations. If they were looking for a book for a reading prompt on Honesty, for instance, I could check this site for ideas.

Storynory is a free site for audio stories for kids. I could show this site to students and teachers to use in class, at home, or to supplement the literacy program. It would also be useful for genre studies.
