Personal Reviews
In this assignment we were to create a Podcast.  We were instructed to learn or create one by using three different types of programs.  In the past I’ve used Podbean when creating Podcasts.  Podbean is rather simple, and I think students would love the user-friendly style.  It is easy and free.  Even though, I did create free accounts with all of three suggested programs/apps, I choose to stick to Podbean.  I just liked how familiar I was with it. 
Ideas for using Podcast in the library
  • Storytelling
  • Book talks
  • Student Presentations
  • Guest speakers
  • Debates
  • Current events
  • Student presentations
  • Reading Autobiographies
  • Book Summaries
  • Main Idea of books
  • Interviews

Here is a link to the podcast that I had created in the past

My podcast is in regards to my Reading Autobiography.

  1. Love your Podcast ideas; I agree that it is so fun and a creative outing for them. I hadn't thought of it that way, but it does reach multiple learning styles because some of the students will learn a great deal just from the research part that they need to DO the Podcast, others will learn so much about themselves when speaking and hearing themselves! Also, what an exciting feeling for these students to hear themselves speaking about something they care about!

  2. Narda,

    Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas for using podcasts in the library. It is great that we are able to read each other's blogs and share ideas. I feel like I have a good collection of ideas about how to use the different programs and apps with my students from reading everyone's blogs. I think that students would love creating their own podcasts. What a creative way for them to present and share information!

  3. Narda,
    I loved all the ideas you shared for using podcasts. I too used Podbean and agree it is very simple to use. Audible was very difficult you had to convert your file to a WAV needless to say it was my least favorite. Awesome job on your reading autobiography!
