Thing 9 - Social Media

I checked out the Library's Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and G+ page.  It's great that we are on so many platforms but it seems like a lot to maintain and stay current with (on our end.)  We seem to do the best with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

I think we could add some boards to our Pinterest page--ECCR, STEAM, Rhymes.

Thing 8 - Presentations

Here is my presentation on All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven (YA NIVEN).

I used Google Slides.  I started making this presentation on my iphone but was very limited when it came to inserting images.  The only choices I had were to use my camera or my photos.  I consulted Ginny, Lynda.com and did a Google search to find out about adding images to Google slides using an iphone.  After wasting a lot of time, I switched to the online version of Google slides to complete this "thing."  Not sure if this was really the point,  but I was getting very frustrated.

Thing 7 - Saving and Sharing Docs

I downloaded Dropbox to my computer and got the app on my phone.  I shared a document with a co-worker.  I also uploaded some of my work files (by dragging them to the Dropbox) so now I can access them when I'm not at work.  This was easy and that made me happy!

Thing 6

I used Google docs (obviously) and thought this would make it easy since Blogger is Google's platform.  However, I had a heck of a time figuring out how to post my story to my blog.  I thought Google docs would have an option to share it or post it to blogger.  It didn't (at least not that I could find) exactly. You have to share the link, so that's what I did.
