Thanks to Colleen at Chippewa Falls for this guest post!
Libraries that have
iPads may benefit from downloading the app from the iTunes store called AppsGone Free. Every day a few designated apps are free to download. Read the
ratings & reviews to determine whether the apps are a good addition to your
libraries' iPads.
For example the other day, the Chippewa Falls youth dept downloaded an
app called Scrap It HD. With it they could host a digital
scrapbooking session. Maybe tell patrons to bring 3 pictures in each and
upload those photos to a few ipads with that app on them. Patrons can add
borders, text, icons, and more and then upload their creations to a social
networking software of their choosing. It could be a fun & creative way to
use current technology to connect with patrons. AppsGone Free. is a great way
to download apps that normally cost anywhere from 99 cents to $10.00.
Check-it-out!
Here is a photo CFPL created in Scrap It. It has all kinds of possible
uses-promoting books, etc.
