Someone from HUE Animation Studio found TLT and reached out to me to ask if I would like a HUE Animation Studio kit to review and since I am actively putting together my library’s MakerSpace, I was excited to have an opportunity to review this product. One of the stations that I am working to […]
I hope everyone has survived their Fall Break! As I wrote in an earlier post, Star Wars Battlefront recently came out for the holiday season and as predicted, it’s pretty popular at my library. However, it isn’t doing as well in sales because it is competing with big ticketed games like Fallout 4 and Call […]
At The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County (OH), we are in the process of creating our MakerSpace. Because our space is a smaller space, we are focusing on tech that can be used in a variety of ways which for us has meant iPads. One of the tools we bought and evaluated […]
Recently, The Teen had to do a complex poetry assignment. One of the poems she had to create was a Concrete Poem, a poem that takes a shape. I would like to point out that the subject of her poem was me – go Mom! But we went looking for a way to easily create […]

This week, I am reviewing Splatoon for the Wii U. Splatoon was released in May 2015, and is currently priced at $54.99 on Amazon. This game is pretty significant for Nintendo because it has been a long time since Nintendo has created a new universe from scratch instead of rebooting old characters. Quick Synopsis: […]
The Teen, The Bestie, some neighborhood kids and I spent the weekend perfecting our Meme process so that I could add a new station to my Maker Mondays. Our goal was to combine using technology with something artistic to create a great STEAM project that allowed teens to learn some new skills, explore some photography […]
