[LM_NET] SHARE: Weekly Update on Book Trailers for All

[Teresa Schauer <pettushs@GMAIL.COM>]

I think I am going to do a weekly update regarding new activity on our "Book
Trailers for All" site, rather than trying to post each time a new trailer
is posted.  A LOT has happened over the past week, with the creation
of theBTFA page on
4shared<https://www.4shared.com/u/vgpvszst/15eb7f4e/Book_Trailers_for_All.html?sId=d9AbDPj1gJRZVxDd>.
Probably the most exciting thing, to me anyway, is that Nancy Werlin's
Husband Jim McCoy
blogged<http://jimmccoyandnancywerlin.blogspot.com/2010/02/wait-theres-more.html>
about
the BTFA page yesterday!  He even mentioned Robin Henry's name--which is
something for which Robin and Wakeland High School in Frisco,
Texas<http://sites.google.com/site/wakelandhslibrary/>should be pretty
proud.

Here's the latest about BTFA:


   - As of today, there have been 1,680 downloads from the 4shared
site.<https://www.4shared.com/u/vgpvszst/15eb7f4e/Book_Trailers_for_All.html?sId=d9AbDPj1gJRZVxDd>
(There
   are a total of 62 trailers)


   - The top five downloads are for the books CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS by Dav
   Pilkey (created by a 5th grader), UNWIND, by Neal Shusterman (created by
   June Henson), GYM CANDY, by Carl Deuker (created by Robin Henry), CRANK, by
   Ellen Hopkins (created by Teresa Schauer), and WINTERGIRLS, by Laurie Halse
   Anderson (created by Jace Daily)


   - Title and Creator information has been added to each trailer at BTFA.


   - There were eight new trailers posted to the Teacher Tube
group<http://teachertube.com/members/groupHome.php?group_id=booktrailersforall>and
theBTFA page on
4shared<https://www.4shared.com/u/vgpvszst/15eb7f4e/Book_Trailers_for_All.html?sId=d9AbDPj1gJRZVxDd>.
    The details for the trailers can be found on the attached spreadsheet.  The
   complete spreadsheet detailing all the trailers can be found in the
Documents
   Folder on the 4shared
site<https://www.4shared.com/dir/32063608/ec5a895/Documents.html>.
    (The details for each book include: title, author, age appropriateness,
   summary, AR/RC quiz info, creator and a direct link to the trailer)


   - Remember, if you would like for your trailer to be included in the
   folders at BTFA, please follow the directions for uploading it to the TT
   group.  The directions for doing so can be found in the "Documents" folder.
    Once it's uploaded there, a moderator from BTFA will get it converted and
   added to the sharing files.  (PLEASE REMEMBER, in order for a trailer to be
   uploaded to either page, it must give proper attribution for images and
   music)


   - A couple of people had trouble with the upload process at TT.  If you
   try to upload your trailer and have problems, please let me know.  If you
   send the file to me, I will be happy to upload it for you.

WHEW, I think that's it for this week's update.  During the upcoming week, I
hope to see lots more trailers uploaded--we are especially in need of
trailers for Lower Grade interest level books.  By the time of next week's
update I hope to include statistical information for each trailer.

On a HAPPY note, as I was typing this email, my phone buzzed noting an
incoming message--it was from NANCY WERLIN herself, thanking us for the site
and most especially she raved about Robin's trailer for her book IMPOSSIBLE.


GO ROBIN!!


Blessings to all,


Teresa
