Podcasts in the Library

Hello fellow friends and bloggers! I am stoked to introduce to you a new Tool that is so cool and easy to use. You can use it for any type of learning, teaching, or just for fun. I just found out how to create a podcast! I have been playing around with three different FREE sites that allow you to create yours for free. Here they are and you can choose which ones you like best. The first one I signed up for was Podomatic. I really liked podomatic at first because it is full of color with pictures of all sorts of music! And let me tell you, boy do I love music! I began to explore and really it wasn't as easy as I thought with this site. It has tons of music and allows you to record your own podcast and share with the world.

The next two sites I explored was soundcloud and audioboo. Soundcloud was a bit plain when I first got onto the page because I was comparing it to podomatic. So I logged in and it was pretty easy. I liked that it had more to offer like listening to music, creating your own podcast of course, you could also connect wth your friends and follow podcasts all in one place. That was a plus for me. Then I also explored audioboo and honestly, I could not decide on which site was best. Audioboo was just as easy to create a podcast. I loved how convieniet it was to record from my iphone, save it, send it to my email, and just upload it to audioboo. It was so difficult to chose between sound cloud and Audioboo. In the end, I chose Audioboo because of the quick tour it provides for you. That really helped me with Audioboo. I hope you try them out as well and see which one you like the best. Let me know what you think!

With the hep of Audioboo, I created a podcast on how I would love to introduce to the students new books that will be arriving in the library. It can also be like a "book talk". Here I am introducing one of my favorite books "Kitten's First Full Moon". Don't laugh, I was pretty nervous recording. I am sure I will get better once I get used to listening to my voice.
