Students may forget their pencil or book for class, but they always seem to have an iPod handy.  iPods are portable listening devices that can store up to 30G of music, video, etc. depending on the version.  I have an iPod from the first generation of iPod.  I recently started grabbing podcasts from NPR to get the daily news. 

It seems like most students have an iPod – why don’t I have a podcast for the library?  Two or three minute segments about the Internet, new books, or maybe interesting research projects.  Several teachers in my building are attempting a podcast project with their students. 

To access the podcasts, click on the podcast icon on the right hand side of the screen labeled .  You will need iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/).

To create a podcast for your library website, I am attaching directions in a Word document.  If you have questions, send ‘em my way.

Here are some links of teachers using podcasts in their classrooms too!  Some are video and audio.
