I love John Shu's blog Watch. Connect. Read. He includes so many great book trailers and I really enjoy getting insights from his author interviews. I definitely want to share more of these with my students as well as doing more of my own book talks about great books I would like to recommend.
For implementing BYOT/BYOD in fourth grade in January I think we did a great job. I would like to spend some more time exploring android apps so I can better integrate them as well.

I got a good start this year utilizing Wixie and edmodo for assignments (as well as some other tech) but there is still a long way to go.
I know there is so much potential and it's time I went beyond edmodo and actually had them reflecting on their personal kidblogs.
I'm not sure why I have so much trouble with this but next year I am really going to make a conscience effort.
It was fun checking out lots of other ideas at





At least you made it to the party. I had to skip this one even though I think it's a great party. I share so many of your goals. Maybe I could just link to yours. ;) Have you seen the "ReadBox" QR book trailer board on Pinterest? Very cool...It's my number one plan to meet the goal of sharing my book trailers. Have a great day!

I like how you call them "Book Trailers" instead of "Book Talks" - I think that would appeal to kids more. :-)

Looks like you have great goals for next year! Good thing we have summers to get our goals ready for action!
