  The first video would be beneficial to students as well as teachers because it gives student personal reviews of a program called Socrative. Socrative is an app to engage students in learning by allowing them to choose an activity and also receive instant feedback on their learning. 
  
  The second video would be something students would enjoy because the library is known as a quiet place, but it doesn't have to be. The library is a great place for students to collaborate, explore, research, and create. The library is no longer a place where it has to be silent.

  The second video wold be ones students would get a kick out of watching over and over. These overdue book paradoies are a creative way to get students to turn in their books without the negativity of hounding students to return their books back to the library. It keeps a positive relationship between the library and the students. Students also can create their own twist of overdue books using songs they listen to on a daily basis.

Book Trailer

Chase's memory just went out the window. Chase doesn't remember falling off the roof. He doesn't remember hitting his head. He doesn't, in fact, remember anything. He wakes up in a hospital room and suddenly has to learn his whole life all over again . . . starting with his own name. He knows he's Chase. But who is Chase? When he gets back to school, he sees that different kids have very different reactions to his return. Some kids treat him like a hero. Some kids are clearly afraid of him. One girl, in particular, is so angry with him that she pours her frozen yogurt on his head the first chance she gets. Pretty soon, it's not only a question of who Chase is--it's a question of who he was . . . and who he's going to be. From the #1 bestselling author of Swindle and Slacker, Restart is the spectacular story of a kid with a messy past who has to figure out what it means to get a clean start.
