Today was the first meeting of our podcasting program. Hopefully by next week, we will have a completed podcast to post on this blog. Meanwhile, we are not exactly on the cutting edge of technology...other library teen groups have been podcasting for a while. Check out these podcasts from all over the country!
Cheshire Public Library Podcast (CT)
"a teen-driven cultural magazine"
Hennepin County Library (MN)
teens present reviews of books, movies, and more
Bluford Library (MO)
the Teen Library Club (TLC) podcasts about their lives, issues, and the library
If you would like to create your own podcasts, here is a helpful article published by YALSA for Teen Tech Week 2008. It is written for librarians, but it walks you through the process in a way that is easy to understand. Also, check out Podcasting News, a one-stop info website for podcasters of all levels. Too complicated? OurMedia lets you create your own audio and video podcasts right on their site!
To make our library podcast, we are using free Audacity software. We will upload our finished product to the Internet Archive and link it to this blog. We might use copyright free music from Creative Commons to keep it interesting...and legal!
