Thing 6 part 2

In playing around with things at big huge labs, I found a neat little thing to make name or photo badges. It would be easy to make name tags for a special story hour. I could have easily printed nametags for Friday's Story Hour with Harley's picture on them. cute. I tried posting an image, but it kept cutting off. I'm not going to spend more time on Thing 6, so I hope I'm done.

Thing 6

Ok, again the pets are proving to be very useful. They really don't care if their photos are plastered all over the Internet. Again, this proved to be very easy to use. I used images on our computer, rather than trying to work between Flickr and Big Labs. If I'd had time to work on this at the library, I would have used Flickr.

I've seen those library staff trading cards that the college librarians use to introduce themselves to students. Cute idea.

Perhaps I could create trading cards of book characters - but then that opens up the copyright questions. The Internet is still pretty well wide open, but I respect copyright restrictions.

At least if someone asked me about using some kind of image generator, I can say that these resources exist and that they are easy to use.

Becca and I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro to change a photo of Harley into a sketch of Harley to use as a coloring page when Harley visits the library on Friday.

Thing 5

Thing 5 involves playing around with photo sharing tools. Some of the "toys" needed a flash download; I am reluctant to download on this shared computer. Others wanted access to all of my flickr account - forget that. Another wanted to store something on the computer. Again, forget that. So I poked around bighugelabs, tried the jigsaw puzzle, made this mosaic. Looked at the lolcats and some others. I like the cube, and may try that, too.

It was slow uploading pictures directly from this computer, so I uploaded some more pictures to Flickr and easily worked from there.

Here is the mosaic from pictures I like best. These were taken by our daughter, Rebecca.

Mosaic: These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Anna and Kristen put on their tiaras, and changed into these royal representatives of our community. I'm proud of them, especially since they are former Story Hour members!
