[MOSAIC] Book trailers

[Heather Waymouth]

In the fall, I attended a talk from a librarian who was beginning to use book trailers in her district.  The trailers were short, multimedia presentations advertising books to other kids.  She talked about using them in a searchable database for students to find books in the library.  Just yesterday, I read in Taking Action on Adolescent Literacy about a school that had students create book commercials which were broadcast to the entire school and created blogs to go along with each book.  This use of technology in literacy seems so interesting to me!  Are there other schools out there using it?  How?  Thanks for all the great ideas!
