Dragon Booktalk: SOHS English Lit Circs

Happy holidays to our podcast audience, as we are about to enter 2010!  (Which reminds me of Clarke’s novel 2010, the sequel to one of our podcasting books.  I remember reading 2010 in the 1980’s and I just knew I would be living in a space station when the year actually rolled around.  Guess my technology predict/infer was off a bit.)

Our biggest site news: we just crossed the 10,000 hit mark.  I was ecstatic when we crossed the four digit mark, and look how far we’ve come!  Thanks to everyone who has listened to a podcast and/or checked out our site that enabled us to hit this monumental number.

I ended up running out of time at the end of our fall semester and couldn’t complete podcast projects.  I apologize for those waiting for some new uploads.  I do plan on having podcasting for the spring semester in 2010. We also hope to announce an exciting community partnership with Dragon Booktalk in the coming year — more info soon.

We’ll next speak in April (or when there’s site news, whichever comes first)!

Noel Gnadinger, one of our SOHS librarians (and writer of the Pyramid Grant that got our school the equipment for podcasting!), invited me to co-present a session with her at this weekend’s Kentucky Library Association  / Kentucky School Media Association annual convention in Louisville.  ”Getting their Fifteen Minutes of Fame: High School Podcasting of Literature Circles” gave us a great opportunity to talk with librarians and media specialists from around the state.  I hope the attendees got an idea or two, or at least were inspired to bring podcasting into their own schools.   Thanks, Noel!

New podcasts will be coming in November . . .
