Youtube
1) Which is the most helpful for students.
The Creative Commons video on what creative commons is and when to use it would be most helpful for students. This is a great visual on providing students information on Creative Commons.
2) Which is the video that
the students would like the best?
They were all great videos, but I think the visit to the library would be most beneficial to the students. It showcased the process of checking out a book, along with all the resources the library has to offer. At times students may not know or will not take the time to check for themselves what the school has to offer. By making this video it may spark the interest of many other students to visit the library, as they now can see for themselves what the library has to offer. It kept me engaged from start to the beginning and I know students alike would like this video.
Implementation of YouTube in My Library
There are many ways to incorporate YouTube in a library. A channel specifically for our library could be used to showcase our school library and to create how to videos for instructional purposes. Library projects can also be used within this channel.

Creating Book Trailer with Animoto
When I first read over the assignment and what we would be doing, I was feeling a little worried because this was my first time creating anything with Animoto. I was surprised at how easy it was to create the book trailer. The website is extremely user friendly and easy to navigate. I can see the endless opportunities websites like Animoto can provide for students to use their creativity and create different projects. I can also see how a school library use such websites to promote the school library or to engage students during instruction.
Good Reads: "Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?"

As I researched ways libraries are using QR Codes in the library I came across great ideas. Giving the students the opportunity to create a code that shows their projects. Students get to work with technology while staying engaged. QR Codes can also be used them as instructional videos. Librarians can them displayed at the computer area, check out stations, and throughout the book shelves to name a few. These codes can take students directly to how to videos, which can free up the librarian to assist in other areas. These codes can also be used as brochures for literacy night. It can showcase what literacy night has to offer parents and students. Last but definitely not last, they can be used to manage the library. Hours of the library can be scanned along with extra information of the library.

I have tried using Animoto in the past and didn't love it, so I was not really looking forward to using it for this project. However, once I got started, like you, I felt that it was user-friendly. I think the fact that I use other programs more often prevented me from really appreciating Animoto. I look forward to having my students work with it in the future.
ReplyDeleteYour book trailer left me wanting to know more about the book. I am adding it to my must read list. I agree that Animoto made it very easy to create a book trailer which I was afraid would be difficult. I look forward to sharing this tool with other teachers to use with their students. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found that creating the QR code to view the video is very easy. QR codes are great to use to promote books in the library. Students can certainly use Animoto to create book trailers as it is very user friendly. The students can use Animoto to promote books. This is sure to get other students interested in reading. Thank you for sharing your information.
ReplyDeleteI love the partnering of videos and QR codes. I think it is a fun and engaging way to share information with students and staff.
