Videos and QR Codes in the library



Videos and QR Codes in the Library

Doing this assignment was very interesting in the fact that I had to view other school videos which made me think, "do we as a district have this going on too?" Well because this is great, not onlyfor our students but for our faculty. Every summer we have a five day Technology Conference where they teach us how to use new gadgets for our classes and I hardly see it done. To see other high schools do this lets me understand how this school districts want to prepare their students to succeed in their college endeavors. Awesome!
For this first task we had to look at different schools on YouTube and look at two different things. One, what was most helpful for students and second what was most liked by students. Here is what I found....
    1.  Which is the most helpful for students?
NHS library orientation video because it explains the many ways the students can utilize the library also it explains what not use is for. It was clear and direct.
2            2. Which is the video that the students would like the best?
Pete the cat video because as an elementary teacher I am always reading this book to my kids and I know my students will love it too.

               1. Which is the most helpful for students?
Tillery Tutorial Video: Creative Commons 101 for Senior Project Slides because it help the senior to prepare for college and for their senior classes work.

            2. . Which is the video that the students would like the best?

Because it is interesting and it has over 800 views so I do believe the students found this very interesting.

            
               1. Which is the most helpful for students?
AVID Pimp My Binder 2012 because as a school district how has implemented the AVID theories it is very helpful to teachers and especially our students. Love the video, it makes it very clear the importance of an organize binder for class.  
2.   Which is the video that the students would like the best?
The Panthers Library Shakes because it has over 270 views and it is very funny and silly to watch.

1        1.  Which is the most helpful for students?
Noodle Tools - Creating a Book Citation very useful as a future college student this is awesome.
        2..Which is the video that the students would like the best?
Bring Them Back Overdue Library Book Parody because not only does have over 56.000 views it is so creative and well done. I would like to use it for my library website.

               
My next task was to make a book trailer and give a summary or synopsis of the book and make a QR Scan for that will lead you to view my video on YouTube. This was what I did hope you like it.  
For my book trailer I didn’t know how to make one so I went to YouTube first and found lots of book trailers then I went to Pinterest to see if I could get ideas of how to start and I found this. A website shows how to make a Book Trailer for your library books. http://madison.campusguides.com/booktrailerinfo . Here is April van Buren ideas of what to do for a book trailer
Book Trailer Basics: How to Create Your Own Book Trailer and Bring Your Story to Life | WOW! Women On Writing:

Now I made a book trailer using Animoto with different pictures from a Pinterest. I created a QR code for you to view. The book is called "A Voice in the Wind" by Francine Rivers. It takes place in 70 A.D. Rome. A time when Christian where sent to the lions for their beliefs in the great coliseum. It is a wonderful love story that has a lot of historical facts embedded in the story line. It depicts a true Rome and it’s relevancy of today’s world.  

 This is a synopsis from Amazon books: “The first book in the bestselling Mark of the Lion series, A Voice in the Wind brings readers back to the first century and introduces them to a character they will never forget—Hadassah. Torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, this young slave girl clings to her faith in the living God for deliverance from the forces of decadent Rome.”
Here is my book trailer on YouTube.

 How would I use QR codes for the classroom or anywhere in the library, I looked it up first in Pinterest and found bazillions of ideas. For book trailers, lessons and activities as teachers, listening station, a bibliography of any one and an author of the month books to view like for example Robert Munch.  A QR code can take the student to learn either a book review, a person, or YouTube trailer. Here are some picture of examples you can use for your school . All this pictures and ideas came from Pinterest.com.
 
 QR codes for book trailers, eBooks, and for scavenger hunts in the library, how fun is that.
