Thing 20 - You Tube

There is a You Tube video called "Introducing a Book" that is done in Polish but has English subtitles. This video is trying to show that you will not loose the "words" if you close the book or turn the page. Two "monks" are trying to figure out how to effectively "save" the print and not loose the text. After closing the book, one of the monks has a terrible time trying to figure out how to open the book from the spine side. The URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAWR6hzZek This is a fantastic learning experience about a "book" and that you do not have to save the "words" to prevent them from being lost forever.

This is a hysterical look at an old fashion print book versus technology today. If you have not seen this video please watch it but please be seated as you watch it to prevent falling on the floor laughing.

  1. Can you think of ways to use videos like this in your library?

  2. This could show students that there is more than one resource for finding information and the computer isn't that only source! Yes, they need exposure to the computer (which to them means anything on a computer) but they also must not forget about printed material.
