# 20 Podcasts

Some great podcasts out there. I'm interested in learning how to create them so thanks for the starting point. Would love to add podcasts on books and authors to our library website (when we get one up and running. So, I've added Radio National's Book Show to my blog page.

# 18 Wikis

Some great wikis to look at to give you ideas. Really liked some of those class room wikis on wetpaint and some of the others on your suggestion list. I see wikis a being useful tools in the sharing of information when working on tasks, as a research tools, and for lovers of reading. Have added many of your sites to our CURLS social bookmarking site.

Had a look at Rollyo and created my own searchscroll, but I don't seem to have fully succeeded.


# 17 Delicious

I actually have an account with Delicious, not that I have used it since I set it up. The NSW Department of Education and Training have recently set up their own bookmarking site for NSW public schools, CURLS. I have set up an account there for our library. I had a look at the Yarra Plenty Library bookmarks - got some wonderful sites from there. Thanks! In terms of a school library, social bookmarking sites are a great way to give students access to useful sites for their research, recreational and other needs.

# 16 RSS Feeds

Once I got my head around the mechanics of this, I loved it. I've gone to google reader and added feeds to some blogs I'm interested in and I'm looking for more - in relation to reading and school libraries.

Great way to keep up to date with the latest information on topics of personal interest as well as information relating to topics being taught in the classroom.
