Halloween Interactive Video

It is that time of year. Kids love Halloween and all the fun that goes with it.

We recently visited Oil Ranch in Hockley, Texas. Their Halloween decorations have turned the ranch into a home for pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and scarecrows.

I made a video of the festive sights and then added a map, videos, an article and songs with Thinglink's interactive tags.

Enjoy the video and have a Happy Halloween!

Interactive Elementary Library Rules Video With ThingLink

When I was a school librarian, I was always looking for creative and clever ways to teach the library rules at the beginning of each year.

This video illustrates basic library rules for elementary children. I used Thinglink to embed links to some of the most informative and entertaining videos on YouTube that teach children how to use the library.

As you watch this video, click on the blue tags and the video on YouTube will start playing. This video will resume when you finish watching the embedded video.
