For this blog post assignment, I will review YouTube video,
QR codes, and create a sample book trailer. First, I will be looking at four school library YouTube channels,
and choosing two videos from each Channel. My choices will be based on: 1) which
is the most helpful for students. 2) Which is the video that the students would
like the best?Then, I will create a book trailer and embed a QR code to
it.
YouTube
The NHS Library
This video would be most helpful to students because
EBSCOHost is a vital research tool in college.
Student would like this video because it is funny and
entertaining.
The Unquiet Library
All videos were helpful, but I chose this one because it
provided useful information that might not be common knowledge to students such
as protecting your identity
I think students would like this video because it is
helpful, and very concise. It allows the student to do further research if
necessary without boring the viewer.
Pikesville High School Library
This is a long video, but very helpful to graduating
seniors.
I feel students would like this video best because it shows
the library in a different light. Some students might not be aware that the
library can be a place of fun.
BBMSMedia
Students would benefit from this how-to video on citations
because there is always questions on citations, and this video answers many of
them. It shows shortcuts as well.
This is the video students would probably most enjoy because
all students love parodies.
Book Trailer
The book trailer I created was for the book, Birds, Birds,
Birds by the National Wildlife Federation. It is an activity book that teaches
secondary school students about birds. The book is filled with a variety
information on birds, from their evolutionary history to their geographic
location. The book also comes with puzzles and drawings to help teach students
about birds in a fun way.
Synopsis:
How do birds affect our lives - and how do we affect theirs? What is like to fly? Twenty-five environmentally-conscious indoor and outdoor activities fir the bill for a young bird watchers. Watch youngsters take flight into the captivating world of our feathered friends as they learn about migration patterns, habitats, eggs, family life, feathers, and much more. Birds, Birds, Birds supplies all the guidance and inspiration teachers and other group leaders need to steer youngsters into hands-on learning and fun.
Birds, birds, birds ! (1992). Washington: National Wildlife Federation.

QR code
Lastly, I really liked the purpose of QR codes and how they are used at the library. I still don't know how I would use QR codes exactly, but I am planning on using them for book trailers like I did for this assignment.
I LOVED the parodies that the BBMSMedia students do! I would love to do something similar with my students once I am a librarian!!
ReplyDeleteQR codes are running rampid in the Breakout Edu boxes. Many people are linking articles for reading or videos that students can utilize when trying to get students to dig deeper into content. That may be one way that you could use QR codes in the library. You could have a breakout box for how to navigate the school library, how to use destiny online and look up information, or how to find digital resources that your district pays for.
