My job at the public library includes children's programming for preschoolers both at the library and at area day care centers. My musical abilities are lacking, so I was thrilled when each of our branches received an Ipod loaded with favorite children's songs to use in our programs. The Ipod and docking station are easily portable so that I can take them with me to outreach visits. I am able to create playlists for the various age groups I serve, and add my favorite songs to the lists. One of the kids' favorite songs is "Drivin In My Car" from the Ralph's World CD. We pretend hoops are our steering wheels and we act out the song. We sing and dance (another one of my lesser skills) along with reading stories and using flannels and rhymes. The Ipod and docking station greatly add to the quality of my programming. (I wonder if there will be a new tech tool to enhance my dancing ability??)
