I have to admit to not knowing much about YouTube, although husband and son use it quite a bit, mainly to watch nonsense. From time to time they will call on me to come and watch something funny, but that is the extent of my use of it. I think our library could use online video quite effectively to promote upcoming events at the library. It would be great to film children's storytime (not sure if the children's librarian thinks of herself as a movie star though!) and the writer's who come to give talks at the library. Filming the annual Christmas party for our housebound readers would also be a good idea, allowing viewers the opportunity of seeing just how much the library does. It's not all just about issuing and returning books!
Being the proud mother that I am, I have chosen to embed a video clip of my son, a budding David Beckham, at least he'd like to think so. He's the cool dude in the No.9 shirt.
First of all ... that's brilliant that you have a video on YouTube of your son playing soccer! Did you do that?
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I love the ideas you have for using YouTube in the libraries, especially the Christmas Party for housebound readers. However, if we start filming Storytime I'm just going to have to hand that little activity over to someone else :)
Yes it is great to have a video clip of your son! Being familiar with YouTube, I found this part of the course easy to follow
ReplyDeleteI like the soundtrack, lol!
