Assignment 10

Had some trouble getting to the podcast sites. I tried a few times during the week but was unable to get to podcast.net or yahoo podcasts. No trouble with podcastalley though. Lots to see on that site. Could see the benefit of having some library related podcasts. Thinking back to earlier weeks of this course and the podcasts we looked at. It was a useful way to pass along information. I envision podcasts on subjects like 'using iBistro', 'using Novelistplus', 'downloading audio books'. Patrons could access these podcasts and be instructed in these topics.

YouTube. I love YouTube! My family has fun looking up videos here. As my kids tell me, 'you can find anything on YouTube'. Was hard to decide what video to share. Narrowed it down to two. First one is funny. If you are a mom, or know a mom, or have a mom, you might enjoy this. It's called 'The Mom Song'.



This next one is inspiring. It's called 'Yes, we can'. A musician from the Black Eyed Peas took a speach made by President Elect Obama following the New Hampshire primary, put it to music and added video. Very powerful. Wonder what I'd be capable of if I watched this video every morning and took the message to heart. Something to think about.
