Beauty and the Beast Overdue Book Parody
I'm The One by DJ Khaled Overdue Library Book Parody
I believe that the "How To" videos will be the most helpful for students. I think that the students will like the parody videos the best. I think that both types of videos have educational value. The "How To" videos show the students how to do things, access apps, research, etc. but the Parody videos made by students can show understanding of the project, product or concept. It's a new way to think about teaching concepts.
Animoto
I have never used Animoto before but I love it and can't wait to show it to my students. With the educator's account I am able to create 50 student accounts. I can have my 5th grade students work in groups since I have about 110 5th graders to create Animotos. I'll be able to give them another resource to use to present their learning.
I created a book trailer on a book that I'd like to get my 4th and 5th graders interested in. Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley. My children read these books years ago and I just got them for our school library. I really think that my students will love them but this trailer will hopefully help spark their interest further plus it will be a teaser in teaching them how to use Animoto.
QR Codes
This is the QR code to my book trailer on Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley.
EbscoHost Article on QR Codes in the Library
I never realized how easy it was to create QR codes. After reading several articles online about how QR codes are being used in the library, I thought it would be cool to create a library scavenger hunt to find different areas of the library using QR codes and scanning them in the right order as they find them. I think that this is something that all my students could participate in using the library iPads.
I also love the idea of creating QR codes for links to book talks or book trailers all around the library to pique student's interest. Kids love technology and they are curious. We can use these two things to our advantage to connect them to new books, new ideas and new information.

I really like your booktrailer. I will need to add this book series to one I want to read. I just recently realized I have a little obsession with reading fairy tale based stories with my kids at home. My son an I have read all of the Land of Stories and my daughter and I are reading the Whatever After series. I am also an avid viewer of Once Upon a Time. I am interested in using QR codes in my classroom this year I have seen lots of posts on Pinterest. I will probably check out Pinterest first before creating a whole bunch myself to save on time.
