Videos and QR codes in the library

Good evening everyone! Next up on the school library blogosphere are videos QR codes. What about them? Well they can become very useful tools for students and librarians if used efficiently. As mentioned in the past blog post, a way to create helpful videos is by screen casting. Many school libraries and districts create videos to distribute information to users and for them to be able to reference to those videos as often as needed. Examples: Norman High School in Oklahoma Their YouTube channel features videos that teach students how to use a certain resource. One I found was a great idea to create was the video on how to navigate their school library page. Videos such as these are very helpful for students to continuously refer to and saves the librarian time in having to go over it again and again.
Another useful video they created is one based on how to used EBSCOHost. It is another great example of creating videos for student reference.
The Unquiet Library is a high school library located in Georgia. Their channel creates videos mostly for mini-lessons. Below are some great examples:

Pikesville High School also has a YouTube channel that features student work as well as school activities. Some videos that caught my eye were the teacher introduction videos. I feel like these would be great for students' whose parents could not attend report card night and would like to know about the teacher and the class they teach.
Videos can also be used for schools to create PSAs. They can also be silly and funny PSAs. Anything that gets the message across!
Now how do we give access to students, faculty and parents for these type of videos? There are many ways but one of the easiest would be sharing through the use of QR code. They can be used to share links, share events, and share information. In keeping with the topic of creating videos I created a book trailer using the website Animoto. It has many ready made templates to use to create slideshow type of videos with animation and songs included.
Sites such as QR stuff and Visual Lead can be used to create QR codes to share any type of information while apps on iOS or Android can be used from any sort of tablet or phone equipped with the mentioned or similar apps to read the created QR codes.

Below is the QR code for the book trailer I created for the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli.

Make sure to share your own QR codes, videos or book trailers below. How did the students like them being used as part of your teaching?
