Thing 14 - VINE!

Although I'm not totally new to Vine, (I live with teens and college age folks), I am new at using it "all by myself."  I tried to download it onto my iPad but was confused about which app to choose.  It was much simpler to download it to my iPhone, although I think it would be cooler to film using an iPad.  It's not difficult in the least, and I really am a believer in meeting kids where they are at.  I can see a lot of uses in my high school library, especially after viewing the link to 15 Cool Ways Libraries Can Use Vine to Create Social Videos.  I don't have any adult help in the library, but I can see my teen helpers being totally into creating Vines for lots of library hot topics - new books, how to use the catalog, how to connect to a printer, where to find certain things, etc.  I think the length is perfect for a quick look at things like new titles or even a quickie peek at how to view your own library record.  This might also reinforce how very public apps like Twitter and Vine are . . .
