Cool TL videos!

July 28th, 2007

Elementary librarian Doug Valentine, a.k.a. Dr. Loopy, a member of our TeacherLibrarianNing, recently posted three very clever, tongue-in-cheek videos about our profession.  I later discovered that these are but three of his many funny efforts posted on TeacherTube.

He’s given me (us all?) some great ideas for new productions this fall and some cool material for inservices.

  • Agent Codee Books fights an evil Lexile character who prevents children from reading books they themselves choose
  • Blind Date explores classroom teacher/librarian collaboration in reality television, pop-up video format.
  • Bionic Librarian shares the updated librarian image, as well as the potential super powers of collaboration.

Great fun. Thanks, Doug!

Note:  After writing this post I explored a little more of how school librarians and teacher librarians are represented in the world of teacher and student-produced video. Check out the longer post at my SLJ Blog.

It may be that the most popular purchase we made in the past year was the poster printer.  Our PhotoShop-savvy volunteers are going a little crazy organizing our teams and clubs into READ poster creations.  Here are a few of our latest team creations.  The clubs are coming.  The cast of Grease was just in to borrow biographies of James Dean and Dwight Eisenhower and On the Road.
