You and your students have your choice of a variety of technology tools to create and share books. You can create podcasts, videos, interactive multimedia, and augmented reality and share your work with interactive displays, QR codes, and online with a world-wide audience. Check out an example of how you can use interactive multimedia with Thinglink for the Kentucky Bluegrass Awards here. Check out the Thinglink examples below for more ideas:

Helping Get Your Students OrganizedIf you are going to challenge your students to create their own book talks and book trailers, it will help to provide your students with a framework for working through creating their own book trailers.
Providing students with clear directions, tutorials, directions for how and where to save information, as well as directions on how to access and use Public Domain and Creative Commons licensed work, and how to document sources are all very important lessons.
You may want to "flip" your instruction since often students will be working through different stages of the book trailer/talk creation process at different paces.
Here is an example of how you can help your students gets organized for their task using a tool such as Blendspace. If you are having trouble viewing the lesson click here to view the lesson in Blendspace.
