MAP+Marketing+Tool

MAP Marketing Tool: 2/25 TB I know my students are always taking the bookmarks that we make for them. This is how we send home information for our new Overdrive district subscription as well as information for donating to the library through the Mackin4Funds website. I find my own child's all over the house! Another idea might be to have a slide or two for the school's running slide show that is displayed in the school. We don't have this at my school but I have seen it at other schools. Any other thoughts? Tracy

2/26 AW What a great idea with the bookmarks!!!!! I absolutely love it and I think I am going to start doing this at my school too!!! My students always want bookmarks and this is a great way to get information to them. Love it, love it. My school has a large TV screen in the foyer and we have announcements and information scrolling through it all day. I also like that my principal has taken the time to set-up a Facebook page for our school. This is a great space for information to be disseminated to parents, faculty, grandparents etc. I am not as familiar with Twitter. I have a Twitter account, but just can't keep up with it all. Since "Pinterest" has become so popular, I was thinking of starting boards that parents, teachers and students could follow. Maybe making booklists on there or something. Any thoughts? Ashley

2-27 TB Pinterest is evil! I gave up FB for Lent but have started to "browse" on Pinterest instead. Really defeating the purpose of spending idol time on the computer. My school district has a district library FB page and we have a PTA one but as of yet, we can't have an individual library one. I'm anxious to hear what idea Colleen has as well. I did notice we can NOT use PowerPoint for this assignment so we might have to do Prezi slides instead. Tracy

Pinterest is evil, but I love it! However, I do not think it is easy to follow anything on it! It seems really random. I like a lot of the crazy, new things on the article from last week about Web 2.0 tools. Zoho is really cool, but not sure it would be good for a marketing tool. I'd like to do something arty and cool. I have a great app on my iPad called Mixel that allows me to make collages. Ya'll play around on Zoho too! You can add movies, prezi, whatever onto it! I'm really into the "remix" idea right now and utilizing a lot of things already made and remixing them with my own thoughts and making my own product! Okay, I got a little carried away and made a Zoho Project because we could add tasks and deadlines. I went ahead and invited you and added our final project due date. We can also add small tasks as we figure out what we need to accomplish! I thought it might help us stay organized. :)
