I knew about podcasts and listened to a few because I've had to, but never really actually sought out podcasts of things I'm interested in. I am now subscribed to children's books and Hogwarts Radio :)
Podcasts are great news for school libraries in a sense that AV techs no longer have to tape things off the radio for student use, but download them online.
Hmmm legal (cheap) downloads for TV programs next maybe

Rollyo
Yay I used a Rollyo! I only did a small one of my fave bookshops so I only have one place to look for a book, but it's a start. I am unsure of using it in a professional sense, although it is easy, there are so many resources out there that if you put something together, you will always miss something and it would be a hell of a job to maintain.
*2014* Rollyo is another 2.0 application which is now defunct. I did not use this application any further than this tutorial, though it could have been used in a school library environment with selected subject sites and book review sites (such as GoodReads and Inside A Dog).

Wikis
I have had a bit of experience with wikis through Uni study, and while it was great to use, especially for a group project, it was a little difficult to edit as there were codes that needed to be entered to format it properly. Once you got the hang of that it was great.
A couple of our ICT classes at the moment are using wikis for project, though I think they have just started and can't say how they have found them yet. I think they are great for sharing ideas and for classes to all be able to work on a project together. The biggest wiki around, is Wikipedia. While it is a good source of general information, the fact that it can be edited by others, makes it an unreliable source for many assignments. This is something that students need to be aware of when it comes to wikis and using their information.
