Thing # 17

I previewed several different podcasts. My favorites were Just One More Book and the NPR Books Podcast. I loved Just One More Book for keeping up with children's literature and was excited to see that it lists books by topic, author, illustrator, almost anyway you want books to be organized.I checked out Grammar Girl but thought it was more high school tips than elementary. I love all things NPR and all things about books, so duh! I loved the NPR site.I'm going to try to follow the Reluctant Blogger's lead and listen while I'm in the grocery store, but I'll probably never get through shopping! I am intrigued by the idea of podcasting. I think it has many possibilities for staff development and communicating with teachers. It is so difficult now to reach all teachers with specific information. I'm going to try it out. I already had an iTunes account, mostly for listening to music, but now I have added several podcast subscriptions. I really feel buried with all the new ones automatically posting to my iTunes. Yikes!
