[ISLMA-Share] Fun Digital Signage Ideas

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I use pictures of kids reading. Pictures of students around building. Teachers birthdays. Technology rules. Reminders of internet behavior. I put up a 'Fact of the Week'.  I ask other teachers some of their favorite books. So each week I have a picture of a different teacher/administrator with a list of books they love. 
I also ask teachers to send pictures to me too with titles.

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> I have new digital signage in the library that plays a slideshow all day. I have two TVs in the library and one in each of our offices that we utilize to play the same thing. We have it on a closed system with a Google Slideshow on a loop.  I am interested in ideas to keep the slides fresh, so I would love to know what you do if you have it in your library.
