Which podcasts did you find interesting?
(Be sure to include links in your blog entry to the podcasts mentioned.)
Just One More Book
http://feeds.feedburner.com/JustOneMoreBook
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.

Thing 18 Slideshare
What did you like about the presentation you embedded?
This is a decent library advocacy slideshow that would be good to use as inspiration to create one for our district. It discusses the current state of access to certified Media Specialists (Teacher/Librarians) in PA, where the situation is a bit worse than in our district (for the moment), but it could provide a vision of what it would be like if such a valuable resource was cut.
How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?
I could see it being useful. Hopefully I can find some work related slideshows that I could use in my library class. Just poking around I found some good examples to show when teaching kids how to create PowerPoints. The nice thing about this site is that there are lots of very slick and professional looking slideshows available. As a PowerPoint creator I know how time consuming they can be. I'm always looking for ways to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
