YouTube

I am probably the last librarian in the world to use YouTube. Actually I have attempted to use it several times before, but it was and still is normally blocked from use on staff computers. I first saw the purpose of YouTube when I was at a friends house. We were trying to play Dance Dance Revolution without much luck. We finally foudn some helpful, and many not so helpful, You Tube videos of people playing Dance Dance Revolution.

I was able to get into YouTube for some strange reason today. In so doing I was able to find several helpful videos. I particularly enjoyed videos showing other librarians presenting bilingual storytimes. Those short videos helped with ideas for future programs.

Here's Tanya and Rosie leading a bilingual storytime.


I also found a very nice animated short of Teddy Bears Picnic. I just have to find out if I can show it or use it in my storytimes. If not, at least I have the song that I can sing at a later date.

We are excited because we have just been given permission to record soe of our storytimes to plac eon YouTube.
