Method 6

I have always enjoyed the You Tube site and videos.  I have used some of the videos as extensions to lessons in the library and have sent links to teachers to use in their classroom.  However, I  find the searching on YouTube to be very time consuming. The huge amount of videos posted (a lot not worthy of looking at) that have to be weeded through after typing in a search topic creates frustration for me.     I also find the searches to be difficult because they often bring up unrelated items, or miss videos that I think they should have been included in the search.  For example, when searching for children’s book trailers, there are a lot that are posted on YouTube that I could only find when typing in the title of the book.  They were not found just by searching children’s book trailers.  I would love to include videos in my blog as a way of adding interest  and information to the library program.  

I chose “Thank You Note” because of my own fond memories of reading Zilpha Keatley Snyder’s book in my local library.  Her books were always (and still are) favorites of mine.  
I loved the originality of the paperdoll wandering through the library stacks and this video makes me want to create some beautiful videos of my own.
