Let’s share our media: BookVideoNing
The wonderful Wes Fryer, (educator,father, blogger, conference buddy) wondered in his Learning at the Speed of Creativity blog why the growing number of book-related videos and digital stories (home-grown and otherwise) are not being collected in some central, platform-independent web space.
It forced me to wonder too. Though I’ve played with the idea in blog posts, on our TeacherLibrarianNing, and in BookLeads, we really have no focused space to collect our videos, and VoiceThreads, and Animotos, and other K12 book-related digital storytelling efforts. And there’s great stuff out there. Stuff related to our state book awards, children’s favorite titles, genre highlights. Heck, you’ve probably created a bunch and they may live quietly on your own server or in an account on a digital storytelling site.

Wes is right. We should gather them! They should be way easier to find!
Teachers and librarians, please join me in building a new portal. I’ve just set up BookVideo.ning.com. Upload your best! (And your students’ too!)
