So much great information and so many great ideas today! Inserting a YouTube video would allow me to include a book trailer for the book I want people to discuss. I had thought about being able to include an image of the book cover (pictures almost always work as attention grabbers) but hadn't thought about the video aspect. I've starting using QR codes around the library to get people to go to an author's site, etc. so this would be an extension of that. It would be really amazing if I could get students to create their own book trailer and post it to the blog!
Our previous librarian was using "Goodreads" as a book discussion forum, which allows students to create their own shelves of books they've read, are currently reading, or want to read. Only a few students seemed to be still using this, but I had planned to "relaunch" it with a lot of advertising. Now I'm thinking about the blog & the things I can and can't do with it, I have to decide which way to proceed. I also have to figure out the way to make the blog work with the "weebly" site - working out the links, etc. although that might be the least of my worries. I guess I should be sure I can connect the 2 before I go too far if I decide to use the blog!
Thank you for such a fantastic blog. Where else could anyone get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a presentation that I am presently working on, and I have been on the look out for such information...Camper Trailers Brisbane
