Videos and QR Codes
in the Library
YouTube is commonly
used by a lot of people, and now you see it being used more by educators as
well. Libraries are also choosing to
showcase their elementary by creating book talks, book nooks, or even to
promote their upcoming events. While
trying to find examples of book trailers I noticed that many were created by
students. I feel when students are in
charge and are creating their videos it will allow them to feel ownership towards
their creations which enable them with motivation to think critically and out
of the box.

Book Talk:
"Little Cat’s Luck" by Marion Dane Bauer
Synopsis from Publisher:
When an indoor calico cat named Patches spots a golden autumn
leaf fluttering past her window, she can’t help but venture outside to chase
it. But soon, Patches feels something tugging at her, telling her to find a
special place—one she won’t know until she sees it. Why must she go on this
search? She doesn’t know yet.
|
Along the way, Patches finds herself in dire circumstances, but
with the help of the other neighborhood animals, she faces off against the
scariest dog in town and continues on her journey to her special place.

About our book talk:
How can I use this new learned
knowledge in the library. Well, I’m
hoping to create book talks or book summaries and recommendations to books with
students this upcoming year. I’m really
hoping to create more QR codes that will be around the library so students can
check out the book talks when I’m trying to promote books. I’m even thinking of doing it with the Blue
Bonnet Books this upcoming school year.
Will see, but for sure will be utilizing these neat tools in the
library.

Hi Narda! I feel the same way about having students create the videos themselves. This assignment helped me to see so many videos showcasing the students, which is very motivating. I love how you used an actual student in your book trailer.
