Widgetize, the Opera Widget generator

Check out this customized widget that can be used for picture viewing. School media specialists could download this widget and use it to display the top ten recommended books for the month for each grade level (maybe it could be based on students voting or circ. records). To do it, a digital photo of the book would need to be taken and put on flickr. Next the widget could be downloaded and flickr would be selected as the host site for the pics.

Other ideas for this widget might include: photos of visiting authors, photos of students doing book talks, photos of original storybook illustrations done by students, photos of various sections of the library and their contents (a sort of orientation for students trying to understand the layout of the land), or maybe pictures of reference materials with explanations for use. The list could go on and on and on...depending on your creativity!

Definitely an idea to stow away for future use someday... :)
