[aisle] Beanstack in schools

[Amy Phillips]

I have experience with it as a user (my public library uses it too for
their reading programs). I had talked with a rep about it a little and I
talked with one of the librarians at my public library about it and decided
it wasn't for my school. I know my students have enough logins for things
already, and I could see them having to log into another program to
participate in a reading challenge could be one more reason why my high
schoolers might not want to participate. The program is visually neat, but
some things can be tricky to find in the challenge (as a user). I found
that my Google form log has worked well for our challenges in the past 2
years.
