Videos and QR Codes in the Library

Norman High School Library

Tiger Visits The Norman High Library:   

Getting started with the NHS Library Website:   

I believe the Tiger Visits the Norman High Library is more important because it shows all the possible uses of the library and some of the procedures that are required for example signing in. I feel the students would like the visit better because it’s a tiger and more animated with actual students in the video as well. The Getting started with the NHS Library Website is also important because it teaches students how to use the website anywhere. The screencast however is more informational rather than a little of both information and engagement.

The Unquiet Library

The Importance of Choice for Igniting Student Passion and Learning through Research Projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZUTsyfY8m4&spfreload=5 

The Unquiet Library on Wheels @ the Cafeteria:

The Unquiet Library on Wheels @ the Cafeteria seems would show how much of an impact the librarian is trying to make. She is literally going to lunch tables checking out and in books. In the video you see her interaction with students and how they benefit from her going mobile to reach out to her students. The Importance of Choice video is the more important video. It shows those students’ opinions and voices matter. The project assigned by the library gives students the chance to be creative and important. Placing it on video and the library’s you tube channel gives it value and will increase engagement.

Pikesville HS Library

The Panthers Library in Action – Fall 2013: 

Snapshot of The Panthers Library: 

The most important for students would be the Snapshot of the Panthers Library because it is a snapshot of how 21st century tools and teaching in order to help students understand a specific literary piece. It motivates students to want to attend mini workshops they offer to students and allows them to use technology in an educational way. The Panthers Library in Action shows what type of activities go one in their library such as the parties, studying, reading, and the interactions.

BBMS Media

Overdue Library Book Parodies: 

Dr. Katherine and the Book Hoarder: 

I believe both are important, they deal with an apparent issue at this school for they have multiple videos on returning books. Making them fun and with the times will allow students to get creative and hopefully listen to an issue they are having. This is my favorite because of all the parodies they have.

Videos in the Library

I will use videos in my library as the following:
·         Book trailers
·         Advertisement
·         New books or authors
·         Announcements
·         Spotlight students and their work
·         Encouragement on certain activities EX: Millionaire’s Club & AR
·         Reader of the Month information
·         Activities or Events that have happened
·         Parodies EX: Overdue Books & I like Big Books


Book Trailer with Animoto

Though this was easy to make and rather simple. I would prefer IMOVIE on the IPAD. I will post a video my fourth grade team made with IMOVIE, where I have also used before to make book trailers, however the school has that IPAD. My students had a blast creating book trailers and reviews using IMOVIE. It was really easy to edit and play with. We even had a blast!

QR Codes

The following is how I would use QR codes in my library:

·         Book Trailers: for each chapter book
·         Online: Encyclopedias or other reference books that have online access
·         Mystery Book: have a book of the month and this reveals it
·         Audio Book: to check if there is an audio book or a youtube video that reads it aloud
·         Announcements: any announcements and information that is needed
·         E-Book: download an e-book
·         Literary Guides: literary activities or guides for books to help with comprehension
·         Other Similar Books: provides a list of similar books

  1. Your iMovie book trailer was beautiful. Nice work! The Animoto you did was also good-- spare and thematic, and made me want to look at that book, too. Your ideas for the use of videos and also QR codes was really helpful, thanks.
