Souvent, on veut utiliser un clip vidéo pour déclencher la discussion ou présenter un thème quelconque. Quelquefois, le clip ne veut pas se laisser voir en direct et la seule solution est de le télécharger et de le visionner avec QuickTime, ou un autre logiciel. Plusieurs sites, tels Youtube, Daily Motion et Vimeo, sont utilisés par Radio-Canada et d'autres pour distribuer du contenu vidéo.

Voici quelques sites médiatiques:

Booktrailer Glogs

Jennifer Bednorz’s has created several Glogs* of Book Trailers - see below.  

( *Glogster provides an online poster creator, which enables video and audio to be added to the poster. There is a gallery of graphics available, but users can upload their own images and media. Users can record video and audio directly at the site.)

Jennifer's glogs are grouped by book list or genre. Could be an interesting way to present book trailers in your library. Create a glog that has trailers for books available in your library. The kids could click the trailers they want to watch on the computer from the interactive poster.

*Here are the links: *

SqoolTools - a collection of streaming videos

SqoolTools is a collection of videos to use in your classroom. While the quality is sometimes uneven, and the material has a wide target audience, there are some gems (Shel Silverstein, Robert Munsch, etc) Preview the clips first because some are just trailers, or short intros. Videos can be viewed in full screen, but not downloaded or embedded.

French online Bookstore

I have used the Renaud Bray site in the past, both for ordering, and for "researching" titles that I've then requested via ULS. It's a good place to find out what's popular for certain ages ranges in a North American market (ie Québec.) BTW, they have free shipping if it's over $39.
