September 2010 Update:

Unfortunately, Animoto has switched its “embed code” provider, and the new one does not produce code that is compatible with this type of blog.  So as an interim solution to having the video player in the posts, viewers will need to click on the links for the trailers in order to view them on Animoto’s site.  We apologize for this inconvenience and hope the problem will be ironed out soon.

Here are the first book trailers created by students!

Using Animoto, the students have combined text, music and copyright-friendly images to create videos to promote interest in their favorite books.
