Welcome to this week’s update on BTFA<https://www.4shared.com/u/vgpvszst/15eb7f4e/Book_Trailers_for_All.html?sId=gCPrsN2sW1nDqflN> . (April 19, 2010) We have been in existence for seven weeks. There have been 7,694 trailer downloads from the site, and we have 83 trailers in all. The group on Teacher Tube<http://teachertube.com/members/groupHome.php?group_id=booktrailersforall>now has 1,392 members. If this is the first time you are hearing about these book trailer sharing avenues, please view the “Documents<https://www.4shared.com/account/dir.jsp?rand=0.8626433940031321&sId=Z6Tbyi4NsfRMloUQ&startPage=4&cdirID=32063608>” folder at BTFA. If you are hesitant about adding your trailers to the group, I’d like to ask you to consider something. Even if your trailer is only downloaded a dozen times, (many have been downloaded more than a hundred times) if the people who download them put them in a loop in their library, this means that hundreds, potentially thousands of kids will see it. YOUR trailer might be the one trailer that a reluctant reader sees and decides to give the book a try. YOUR trailer could change the life of a kid forever! For me, that’s *so powerful*—it’s not about how professional your trailer looks, or the production equipment you use to create it. Several of the most downloaded trailers from this site are the creations of FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS! (I personally think the student created trailers are the most effective for reaching reluctant readers, but that’s another topic) Last week I let you know that a trailer had been removed due to copyright violations. NOTE: If you downloaded the *WICKED LOVELY* trailer and placed it in your blog or other site, please remove it—the music was not royalty free. It is currently being re-done with proper music. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. *We have added four new trailers to the site this week. They are:* *Garden of Eve<https://www.4shared.com/account/file.jsp?sId=Z6Tbyi4NsfRMloUQ&startPage=6&id=268344745> *, by K.L. Going, created by Janelle Briggs, of Dexter, New York. (Middle Grade Interest Level) The Juvie Three<https://www.4shared.com/account/file.jsp?sId=Z6Tbyi4NsfRMloUQ&startPage=6&id=264102455>, by Gordon Korman, created by Sarah Loch, of Midwest City, Oklahoma (Middle Grade+ Interest Level) An Unspeakable Crime,<https://www.4shared.com/account/file.jsp?sId=Z6Tbyi4NsfRMloUQ&startPage=6&id=264603454>by Elaine Marie Alphin, created by Robin Henry, of Frisco, Texas (Upper Grade Interest Level) Cryptid Hunters<https://www.4shared.com/account/file.jsp?sId=Z6Tbyi4NsfRMloUQ&startPage=6&id=268357680>, by Roland Smith, created by Sangeeta Garg, of Missouri City, Texas (Middle Grade Interest Level) The “new trailers” document as well as the “trailer details” spreadsheet is updated each week. There is also a folder called “Weekly Updates” that contains all of the previous updates for BTFA. Remember, if you are on FB, feel free to go and become a fan of the page. Each time a new trailer is uploaded, it will be posted to the BTFA wall on FB. The URL for that is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Book-Trailers-for-All/334149457794?ref=sgm There is also an update added to Twitter each time a new trailer is uploaded. Feel free to follow me to get those updates: http://twitter.com/texasbookbabe Have a fantastic week! ~Teresa -- Teresa Schauer District Librarian/Pettus ISD Pettus, Texas tschauer@pettusisd.esc2.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
