Most disappointing because of the limited search abilities. The various directories list the same titles. I'd rather go to NPR to catch the programs I've missed. To find useful podcasts, you have to hunt. A bunch of titles didn't open in the directories and on the School Library Learning 2.0 page. When subscribing, you're receiving another list of daily postings to scan. My Mac definitely makes using and creating podcasts relatively easy, and I like listening from my computer.
I resist earphones as well as being tethered to a mouse and monitor. They don't meet my experiential needs. Having said that, recording is great for kids and learning. Their oral creations enhance literacy, understanding of content, and verbal expression. As a library instructional tool, adding online sound makes a posting richer, more communicative and hopefully more appealing. Definitely need to invest my efforts in podcasting.

Week #9 - Thing #20 YouTube
Funny, the unexpected, mediocrity, interesting, odd, and thankfully, "advanced search". The most recent post under "Education" was a real estate ad!
I had seen several of the School Library Learning 2.0 suggested titles before. My favorite is Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us, a great visual/message blend. Didn't connect with the pictures, but liked many of the statements in the Danish A Librarian's 2.0 Manifesto, especially "I will not be defensive". That's a personal challenge in a CA school library! Some do a better job with credits & Creative Commons than others. The related videos posted on YouTube can get you side-tracked quickly & quirkily (new word).
I chose The Library Rap to post because of its humor and positive attitude toward school libraries. And its length. Better ignore the X-rated posted comments. When I inserted the html, the displayed size was too big for the right column of the blog. May have to work on that.
School Library Instructional Connections (besides student-generated work): With 47 minute periods & teachers looking at their watches (they may tap their feet, too), I'd use short videos (under 2 minutes) in a classroom setting as an intro, to explain something in detail, or create a mood. Postings online could be longer.
Our evolving social media is predicated on visual & oral literacies. Public school curriculum forgets that when we consider electives as add-ons instead of integrating their learning across content areas.
