Youtube is very popular among students. Not only can you find social youtube videos but also educational videos. From the list of links we were asked to see here the videos I chose.
The NHSLibrary:
The NHS Library Website is the youtube video I found most helpful for students. It guides them on how to access the NHS library website. There are many reason to access the library website and if students don't know how to access it they won't be able to take advantage of the resources available within the website.
Tiger visits the NHS Library is the video I think students will like the best. It shows their mascot visiting the library.
The Unquiet Library:
The Sinco Tutorial video is probably the most helpful to students. It shows them how to embed a voice thread or Prezi into their Wikispaces page.
I think The unquiet library on Wheels is the video the students will like best. I think it's awesome that the librarian goes to the students to offer books for students to check out. Going to them instead of waiting for them to come to the library is a great way to keep them reading since high school students aren't known for coming into the library. It is also convenient to return books.
Pikesville High School Library:
The Course Advisement video is probably the most helpful video for students. It explains step by step what to do in order to register for the correct courses the students still need in order to graduate.
The Wii Like to Party video is the video I think students will like the most because it shows different ways to have fun at the library. It also shows pictures of themselves enjoying the activities offered in the library.
BBMS Media:
Noodle Tools: Creating a Book Citation is the video most helpful to students. It shows them step by step how to create a citation for a book.
The Hotline Overdue Drake video is probably the video the students will like best because to shows students dancing to Drake's song while returning books to the library. It reminds the students to return their books in a fun and exciting way instead of just an announcement over the intercom.
The book I chose to create my book trailer on is We Forgot Brock! by Carter Goodrich. The reason I chose this book is because my librarian said it's a very popular book in the lower grades. I wanted to see if my students, fourth graders, would be interested in reading it after they saw my book trailer. They were left intrigued and wanted to head to the library and check it out. This is a great way to get students to read books. Make them want to know what happens next. Leave them curious enough to want to read the book. It worked with my classroom!
Publisher Synopsis:
Phillip and Brock are best friends. Everyone can see Phillip, but only Phillip can see Brock. A night at the Big Fair is all fun and games until Phillip gets sleepy, heads home, and forgets Brock! Brock misses Phillip. And Phillip misses Brock. Will they reunite? With the help of another pair of pals, they just might. Because even imaginary friends get lost sometimes. Finding is part of the adventure.
QR Codes can be used in the classroom in many ways. Students will find them interesting and fun to work with. We can create QR codes for book trailers just like we did for our assignment. We can print and place them inside the books we want students to read. Students can scan them to see if they would be interested in reading the books. I would like to use this when I become a librarian. Another way we can use QR codes is for students homework. Teachers can create QR codes for screencasts they've created. If students forget how to work out a problem they can scan the QR code and watch a screencast to assist them. These are just two ways to use QR codes in the classrooms.
Here is my QR Code. Enjoy!

Nice blog! You and I had very similar video likes especially with how convenient it is and how beneficial it is for the librarian to visit with the students in places like the cafeteria and study hall in order to promote reading!
ReplyDeleteI loved your book trailer. I haven't read "We Forgot Brock" I will need to look for it and add it to my collection. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI agree, book trailers hook and intrigue students to want to read! I did exactly the same thing with my high school students and they reacted the same way. That goes to show you that this works with all grade levels. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're book trailer was awesome! Great job on the look and feel of it. Definitely makes me want to read the book!
