Podcasts & YouTube

The podcast is a very useful way to transmit audio and video broadcasts, particularly in its potential for teaching and learning. I am a distance student, studying at the moment, and I subscibe on a regular basis to podcasts of lectures, and I rely on podcasts as an essential tool for learning. I explored TeacherTube’ and found it difficult to find a video worth adding from this particular site. I was struggling to find any good content at this site. This is not to say all YouTube videos are not worth adding or useful. I found the ‘Conan the Librarian’ and ‘March of the Librarians’ amusing, but ‘Medieval IT Help Desk’ was the most amusing of them all. The ‘Library 2.0 Manifesto’ is very hip and sets the benchmark for future information managers. All these websites would be appropriate and interesting if they were applied to library websites.
