Thing 8



Making the badge was fun...aren't they just the cutest little sales people you have ever seen!! If you click on the badge it enlarges so you can see better! This tool would be fun to use in children's programming at the library. Kids love stickers, and these are head and shoulders above just regular stickers because they are personalized!
Lazybase is a wonderful tool. We get a lot of library patrons asking us to look in their account for the books they have already read. They don't realize that once the book is checked back in it is completely gone from their record. If they had a "My Reading List" on lazybase they could keep track of the books they have already read. And for those senior moments we all have, they could jump on a public use computer right in the library to double check before they check it out again!
EFolio is very interesting...with a lot of educational uses. Unfortunately, Thumbstacks site wouldn't open, but will check back later.
I thought the tools in Thing 8 were easy to navigate and understand, and I would definitely recommend them to others. I have used Shutterfly, and would recommend that one, but that's about it.
