Michael Hobson, 2009, Twilight Overdues, viewed 1st April 2010, http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=108918&title=Twilight_Overdues
There is little information on who the authority is for the video however the video was uploaded onto TeacherTube by Michael Hobson so we assume he is the authority for the video. The video is about the Twilight characters, Bella and Edward, talking about how Bella wants to be turned into a vampire but Edward won't do it because she has overdue books from her library. This video is aimed at young adults who like the Twilight saga. I think this video is a really good idea as it makes something like talking about overdue books which can be boring for most people into something interesting by using the Twilight characters to relate to them.

Rollyo
Today in class we had a look at Rollyo. This was the first time i had a go at Rollyo and it took me a while to understand how to use it. Once i played around with it more and read the about page i realised that it is quite simple to use. My searchroll that i created was the blog, wiki, podcast and flickr page that i critically evaluated. I also added this blog and Youtube.

The Book Lovers Wiki is run by the Princeton Public Library which is an authoritative Library. The wiki is for the summer reading program who writes reviews on the books that they read. There are reviews from all types of genres from chic lit to horror to classics. Anyone in their summer reading program can contribute to the wiki however you must register first either by emailing, phoning or at the Library’s Welcome Desk. The summer reading program is for adults as there are reviews for Angels and Demons and How to Kill a Mocking bird however children can still contribute if they want to. This wiki is good to see what different books are about and what rating the book was given.
