In a digital age, it is important to be comfortable with electronic resources and search tools. It is also important to be able to locate and utilize traditional print resources. I try to strike a balance and always work within the resources and facilities that I have available. My Library Skills Podcasts represents streaming, online versions that you can download to your computer and transfer to your favorite portable media devise. I use the common format, MP4, so you should find that any brand of media player will work (you see, podcasting is really not about iPods at all). If this is new to you, I suggest you check out my Podcasts for Learning Web for information about this format, tutorials on how to get started, and links to almost anything you would want to know about podcasting. Remember, podcasting is not about a format (mp3, mp4, macs, pc, whatever). It is just a way to allow users to sign up to automatically get new podcasts in a series. You can sign up for my Picture Book Podcast using your favorite podcatcher or you can use the podcasting features built into most of today's browsers (Internet Explorer and FireFox). Because the format and resolution of most portable media players is not compatible with the most common media players that are installed on the vast majority of personal computers, I have 2 versions of each video:
What this means is that you do not have to download any files to review some of my library lessons. You can just visit this page and click on whatever readings you would like to preview. You may choose to subscribe to my RSS podcast feed - that will provide you with an automatic notification each time I release a new video. If you prefer, you may just check back here and "catch up" with my new releases. I will be releasing 2 podcast episodes each month for the rest of the 2008/2009 school year. If you have any questions or comments you would like to share, I would love to hear from you - please use my contact form. I will try to get back to you if you like, just as soon as I can. [My Picture Book Podcast Feed] [Webcasts of Picture Book Videos] Webcasts: My Favorite Picture BooksDid you know that most downloaded podcast files never make it to a portable media player (the "pod"). For many of us, being able to watch media, streaming it and viewing it on our computers is all we really need. I will post links to each and every podcast I release - these are embedded videos (flv) files that will play on any computer that has FLASH installed. These links will take you to a Web page at my Web Portfolio, BreitLinks, where I maintain webcasts of my videos. These links will "pop up" in a new browser window - just watch the video files by clicking on the embedded media player's PLAY button. Please adjust your volume with the controls on your computer (I use a simple player with as few buttons, whistles, and bells as possible!). Please close the pop-up window when you are done viewing, returning to this page so that you can look at some of the other videos too. April 2009
