hi all :)

I see there's a lot of 2.0 convo in here. I've heard healthfinder.gov is a great interactive resource for librarians. Their flash tutorial for librarians is supposed to be really helpful (http://www.healthfinder.gov/tutorial/default.asp#librarian) and they're also on twitter, @healthfinder.

One of my roles is supervisor to the live morning news student run broadcast each morning. Since middle schoolers' newsletters rarely make it home we now host a podcast each Friday with the highlights of the morning announcements. There aren't many subscribers yet, but I have had parents consult it to find out about dates for activities, etc.

If you all are around the Arlington, VA area March 31st, I am giving a presentation on this topic at the Internet@Schools; Computers in Libraries Conference. I will surely be checking this discussion forum for your thoughts and comments to add to my presentation!
I am a Google Certified Teacher; I love Google apps and am finding them so useful for my library media center. Surveys are a snap, creating sites for projects and such and embedding presentations and videos is easy. VoiceThread is a wonderful tool for book reviews; shelfari is a cool way to show what you are reading to your students; blogger to communicate with the community. Wordle is a great tool to incoroporate into literacy lessons; for example, a brainstorm on Internet safety for students.

Google also has a nice, simple free website creator. We have GoogleApps for educators in our district, and teachers find it very easy to use.

What free websites can I find which allow me to learn how to create my own website? Thanks!
John Crowley Comment by John Crowley on November 25, 2008 at 1:40pm
We use a teacher web site service eBoard.com Although it is "plain vanilla" it has a component called iNote. This, I think, predates blogs, but functions in the same way. I have been able to get some technophobic teachers to become "blogmasters" to beat the band. We promote the use of more advanced Web 2.0 tools (Google Docs & Notebook, Podcasting, iMovie, iPhoto, etc) via workshops that I coordinate.

Am currently a lecturer in teacher librarianship in Australia and we are using web 2 tools as part of our Grad Dip and Masters courses. Looking forward to learning new applications as our courses are totally online.

Lisa - check for the unquiet library and cool cat teacher, both from Georgia - I believe they do podcasts linked at their websites.
