Welcome to my book trailer!

On our last day Dr. Smirnova has us present our eFolios and book trailers. Unfortunately due to timing I was unable to present mine, but I really enjoyed watching my classmates present their book trailers. It was cool to see all the different technology tools that everyone used. Although I was unable to present my book trailer I had a lot of fun creating it because it was something that I have never done before. I would have never known how to create a book trailer if it weren’t for this class and I'm really glad that I did. For my book trailer I used VoiceThread and it was cool to be able to speak into the microphone and use my own voice. VoiceThread is a web based platform that enables teachers and students to upload images, videos, record audio and text comments. I also found it extremely useful because I was able to download the app on my phone which made it much easier for me to use. I would definitely recommend using VoiceThread in your future classroom with your students! I did my trailer on the book The Magic School Bus Plants Seeds : A Book About How Living Things Grown by Joanna Cole. To prepare for my book trailer I first had to read the book and then choose from different parts of the book. I decided to go with parts that I thought viewers would most enjoy. I thought that this assignment was so much fun, and I think that my future students would absolutely love creating a book trailer just as much as I did! If you'd like you can view my book trailer here and my trade book project here. I hope you enjoy it!
