Listen to a lively conversation about how to use Shelfari-- or how to get a similar site built -- to create a social networking site for students to share their book logs, reviews, and recommendations with each other.

Susan Ettenheim and Paul Allison (and Lee Baber in the chat room) welcomed:

• Amanda, the Community Manager at Shelfari
• Bill Fitzgerald, our open-source friend and web developer from Funny Monkey
• Wesley Fryer, who blogs and podcasts at Moving at the Speed of Creativity

We had a very information packed discussion full of insights and suggestions with our guest, Wes Fryer. Our show included discussion of the following:

1. We discussed what podcasting is and why you would want to podcast.
2. Examples from each of our classrooms (Kinder on up) of podcasting and our insights from that experience.
3. Wesley then shared resources on podcasting.
4. We then opened up a round table discussion.

Wes made his own podcast of the show, and has show notes on his blog, Moving at the Speed of Creativity.

Other resources from the show:

• Our show outline can be viewed here
• Our Diigo links which include more podcasting resources than we could cover in a 30 minute show. Check them out if you'd like more information.

Our next show will be on Monday August 27 at 4 p.m. PDT/6 p.m. CDT/8 p.m. EDT, on the subject of essentials for Web 2.0 in the elementary classroom with our guest, Christopher Shively, from On the Trails to Teaching and Learning. Join us then, at http://edtechtalk.com/chat!
