Videos and QR Codes in the Library

Some of the following places have created a YouTube channel.  Within each channel, there are different videos that are uploaded for educational use.  Here are some of the following links to different channels.

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheNHSLibrary/videos
 

The NHS Library’s Channel-
Poetry for Students-This video seemed really helpful.  Any student was able to follow step by step instructions for library and poetry resources.  The instructor/librarian was able to give a lot of resources a student should use while working on their poetry assignment.  I think the students will get a lot of use from this video.  Students can definitely roll over some of the information to the different subject areas.

 
NHS Library Orientation-Although this is a short video, a teacher can use it prior to going to the library.  This will take away less time for finding books instead of having the librarian go over this during the orientation.  It would also be useful when there is a new student to the district.


The Unquiet Library Channel-
Video Tutorial How to Embed a Prezi Presentation in Wikispaces-These types of presentation are great because they are user friendly.  Students can back up the video to repeat a portion of the presentation.  This is always helpful.  Embedding is something that students need to get a better grip of it.
Creative Commons Licensing: What Is It & Why Should I Care-I think the students should learn about this topic in more depth.  Students need to learn to give credit where credit is due.  This short clip help hint on some of the reasons why it is important to learn about licensing. 


2013-2014 Registration Process-This is a great video because, once again, when a student is absent, they can just review this video to obtain the information that is needed to register for the next school year.  Parents can also view this video.  It makes the life of the counselor a lot easier.  Students would definitely use this a lot. 

The Pikesville HS Library in Action Aug/Sept 2012-This type of video would be great to have going on any TV’s inside the school grounds.  Students will be able to see some snips of what is available at the library. 


Taylor Swift hates overdue library books-This is a cute video done to attract teens and encourage students to be responsible and turn in books on time.  Students probably hit this video to see it creativity.

Overdue Games-This is a really cute twist on Hunger Games.  In this video, students are encouraged to make sure to turn in the books on time.

Overdue Twilight-LOVE IT.  Plus I love the song in the background.  Cute how it ties in the characters of Twilight into discussion on overdue books.

A fresh, urban twist on the classic tale of star-crossed lovers.

When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created “perfect” life is about to unravel before her eyes. She’s forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for—her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect. Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.

 
In a passionate story about looking beneath the surface, Simone Elkeles breaks through the stereotypes and barriers that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart.

 
QR CODES

 

These are an awesome addition to the library.  You can have several of them around or outside the library for student/teacher use.  These can easily take the students to a particular website for use.  Pictures can also be used in the QR codes.  In math, reading, and science, we use them for vocabulary.  There are endless possibilities for teachers, librarians, or even students to use.
