[LM_NET] Animoto of 100 Best Children's Novels poll results

[Maggi <librarymaggi@GMAIL.COM>]

The 100 Best Children's Novels poll has been over for a while, and I  
wanted to share them with my fifth graders, so I grabbed cover images  
for all of them and made an Animoto slide show of them.  It's about 4  
minutes long.  I chose the wonderful "The Book I'm Not Reading" by  
Patty Larkin as the theme music.

Here, also, is a list of all of the books, in order, with the URL of  
Betsy's wrap-up post.  If you go to this link, it links to each post  
about each book.  Go check out all the fabulous cover art -- she has  
ALL of them, including Harry Potter in a quadrillion languages.  =)

Speaking of Animoto, has anyone used it with your kids?  I just set up  
educator access but I haven't tried a project yet.  The 5th graders  
were enthusiastic about the Animoto and want to try it out.  Any  
tips?  (If I get enough responses, I will compile a HIT.)
