Tech out your books, Karen Reiber Web 2.0 tools Attaching trailers to online book catalog: Wow!! I am so impressed, amazing process!
 * Attaching book trailers to library catalog (using glogster)
 * 5/6th graders in fall,show examples, critique them, find on author websites, use worksheet to brainstorm ideas and make decisions about their trailer, use wordless to help brainstorm adworksheet to describe setting, character, overall book
 * After worksheet, make a storyboard, decide on text, choose audio, draw, etc
 * 30-90 second trailer
 * Using web 2.0 tools
 * Work on picture resolution to help them choose appropriate pictures
 * Work on citing sources
 * Voki-get to choose animal/person to talk, voice selection including your own voice, avatar, type in text, then can embed into website or blog, really a podcast
 * Animoto--choose style, put pictures in, choose music that is already in tool, add text, very user friendly
 * Extra normal-stick figures, text to movie, talking avatars to create story, again easy to use and so fun to do
 * Each of these tools is exciting to use and kids pick it up easily and quickly
 * So anyone visiting the catalog can watch the trailer--wow!!!!
 * Then go to qr generator by typing in the URL and making into a qr
 * Copyright: repurpose, add value, transform--can't inhibit kids by not allowing them to publish their work
 * Can also save PowerPoint slides as a JPEG so it is a picture and can be dropped into a web 2.0 tool
