YouTube, ANIMOTO and QR Code Review

For this Blog today I will review YouTube, ANIMOTO and QR Codes. The YouTube Videos are extremely helpful when showcasing activities in the library, giving tours, providing tutorials, teaching lessons, technology and mainly promoting the library. I will give my opinion on the most helpful and which ones the students will like the best from 4 channels.  For ANIMOTO I will demonstrate how I created a video and how it can be a great teaching tool for students.  I will provide access to this video through a OR Code.

The most helpful: The Pikesville HS library in Action Aug/Sept 2012.

The most helpful: NHD Annotation Writing October 28, 2015.  This video share ways to annotate (summarize) and cite sources.  He gives step by step instructions on how to write descriptions, assessment/evaluation, and other valuable source writing information for research projects.

 

Students might likebest: Fifth Harmony Overdue Library Book Parody June 13, 2016. A fun parody made by students about overdue books and return procedures. The student can relate to the videos because it gives them ownership.

 

I also watched Overdue Games, and Luke Skywalker has Overdue Books, and Twilight Overdue. This was a fun video that used a movie clips and used subtitles and voiceovers to get students to remember overdue books. These videos will be useful for student that are movie buffs by using comedy to get a result. The students who made these videos were very talented and making video such as these also give student more experience with technology.


I created a ANIMOTO video for your viewing pleasure:


So begins the ingenious picture book by Ed and Barbara Emberley, winner of the 1968 Caldecott Medal. Each line of cumulative rhyming text introduces a soldier, from private to major, who brings a piece of the cannon they are assembling in time for General Border to give the order to fire, which lowly Drummer Hoff does while the cannon is pointed at the line of his military superiors. An intensely vibrant double-page spread shows the explosion, with the word KAHBAHBLOOOM, and a final wordless single page shows the decaying cannon in a field of flowers, taken over by nesting birds, a spider in a web, a butterfly, worms, and a grasshopper.
