LIS768 Context Book Report Videos

This semester I added the option for my students in LIS768 to make a video or other media presentation instead of writing a blog post for the context book assignment. A few folks tried it out. Here are the results:

    Enjoyable presentations. Some of my favorite books and a fantastic assignment to get students thinking of new ways to present useful information.

    Well done! This was a fantastic use of Animoto. I am sharing with my media hungry teachers. Thanks for sharing.

    Great presentations! I’ve just posted the link to the Born Digital video to the One Book One Conference discussion for the AASL conference this week.
