This
text is both comprehensive and practical. It provides a plethora of information
of a variety of ways to incorporate technology in a meaningful way in the
classroom. Most importantly, it provides actual practical instruction and steps
for teaching and utlizing the technology. Regarding digital book
trailers, chapter 8 specifically talks about motivating students using video.
This section both addresses the theory behind motivating students using video
technology as well as provides step by step directions as to how to create a
video and how to teach students to create their own videos. It provides a
number of examples across a variety of curriculums to demonstrate how the
strategy can be used in a number of capacities. This is definitely a text I
would consider purchasing as a reference for incorporating not only digital
book trailers but technology in other meaningful and rather simple ways.

Similar
to other sources listed here, this site provides step by step directions of how
to create a digital book trailer, specifically using a software by the name of
Audacity. This site includes step by step directions with a voice over walking
the user through out to do the project. A number of handouts and valuable links
are embedded within the site and there are also screen shots of the various
pages necessary to complete the book trailer using audacity. Again, as a
teacher, there are a number of downloadable resources not only to help the
teacher but that could be used as instructional tools.

What I
most appreciate about this source is that it is a teachers designed for student
use. Considering that students are being asked to use technology to create
digital book projects, it makes sense that the directions and resources for how
to complete the project should also be available online. This is also helpful
for fellow teachers/librarians as it not only includes step by step directions
but also includes handouts for student use that fellow teachers can modify for
their own use. This source also uses only one software resource, Animoto,
versus the other websites that often list multiple options making the
directions a bit more daunting for new comers. Even a novice could easiy use
this website to generate their own digital book trailer or to guide students.
The established site also provides a space where book trailers could be posted
for other students to both watch and evaluate as part of the digital book
trailers project. Evaluation of other projects is a useful teaching and
modeling tool.

This
is a fantastic resource and one I have already bookmarked on my school
computer. This page was created by and is maintained by a librarian and the
information on the site is evidence of how devoted she is to her craft. The
site includes step by step directions along with handouts, resources, and links
to assist teachers/librarians in creating digital book trailers as well as
tools on instructing students how to create them. There is also a significant
list of additional resources available at the bottom of the web page. The page
is also a balanced mix of text and embedded photos/videos to break up the
information and to assist in connecting the text with the overall
application.

This source does an excellent job of discussing and justifying the educational and motivational elements associated with digital book trailers and digital writing, in general. It provides quality examples of how and why digital writing should be better utilized within the classroom and provides some practical examples to guide the reader in putting the suggestions and information into context. It also does provide a number of additional sources that could be consulted on the topic should the reader wish for additional information on the topic. This source is more for validating the role of digital writing and book trailers rather than practical instruction while still being very informative. Kenny, Roger, and Glenda Gunter.

This website was created by and maintained by the Florida Gulf Coast University and is devoted to facilitating digital literacy through the use of digital book trailers. In order to get full use of the site, one must register, which is free and it is promised that email addresses are not sold for soliciting purposes. Once access is gained, there are a number of digital book trailers available across a multitude of curriculum. Example book trailers can be searched in a number of ways including by topic or subject. This would be a fantastic site to assist students in seeing the variety of ways that book trailers can be made and could also be used to generate interest in books available within a library while the librarian or teacher gets his/her own digital book trailers up and running.

This
source was particularly helpful because it broke down the steps and how to
create a digital book trailer, ironically, in a video! How helpful! I included
this source for those, like me, how learn well from demonstration videos. While
the information is less extensive than other sources I have included, for some,
that is what might be necessary to initially understand the concept prior to
moving onto more detailed examples. I also like that part of the video
was student made which, really, is the point, right? While the techno music
makes me a little crazy, just turn off the sound and

This resource is written in a lesson plan format providing step by step directions as to how to teach book trailers, what common core standards are satisfied through the project and a rubric for assessment. I found this resource particularly helpful as a start for doing digital book trailers since all the planning and support documents are already generated. This personal reflection section talks about how the trailers could be shared with a community through daily announcements which is an idea I have shared with my current librarian so I found that thought very self-gratifying. For someone unfamiliar with digital book trailers, this is a great resource for getting some practical knowledge without being overwhelmed.
