The regular crew shares their fave blogs and contemplates changes that have undergone the blogosphere generally, and in instructional contexts, in recent years. A side quest in search of effective screencast tutorials is taken. Download episode 12: (mp3: 49 min) or listen to the streaming version: Podcast Notes: Carleen's fave blogs: ACRLog Lauren's Library blog Information Wants to be Free Attempting Elegance Dana's fave blogs: In the Library with the Lead Pipe: fantastic team-blog with in-depth and well-thought out articles on all aspects of the library profession. Spotlight on Digital Media and Learning: MacArthur Foundation blog focusing on the intersection of technology and education and covers all levels of learning. Academic Librarian: blog of Princeton librarian Wayne Bivens-Tatum. Even though I don't always agree with his perspective on the mostly academic issues he tackles, his posts are always thought-provoking and well-written. Mark's fave blogs: Librarian in Black (Sarah Houghton) is a strong library advocate. She is a public library director at San Rafael Public Library. Has incredible insight on the use of technology in libraries.  Seth Godin  is a great speaker and has good insight on marketing, new media and today's culture. Tame the Web, as mentioned on the podcast, Michael Stephens in a prof. at the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State. He is great at explaining complex topics.
