23 Things Project: Thing 17 Video Sharing

Sharing your favorite videos is so easy today. With such resources as YouTube and SchoolTube, you can find a video for anything. I searched YouTube for librarian videos and found some very interesting ones from a Library Thriller video to Librarians in Fashion. The Dewey Decimal Rap was hilarious. Next, I moved on to SchoolTube and searched for reading videos. I found this great video promoting reading from Gurnee School District. It was amazing and right on the money. Check it out here.
Gaga_for_Reading (here is the URL address as well).

Having access to so many video resources would benefit teachers of all content areas. My orchestra teacher uses YouTube to show students quality performances of musical compositions. I have used YouTube and SchoolTube videos to promote pleasure reading and research skills. Students today are used to different methods of instruction than we were, so a savvy teacher and librarian must stay up with the times.

Enjoy some Gaga for now,
Debra
