11. Description of Example and Its Use in the Library:

This animated PowToon could be utilized in a number of ways: It could be used in presentations to convey information to staff. It could also be used to convey event information to customers either on a library website, facebook, or on a television screen in the library.

12. Description of How the Example Capitalizes on the Tool's Potential:

Note: This Web 2.0 tool was created for LS5043 Information and Communication Technology course. This tool is great for creating presentations that can help promote programming related to early childhood and family literacy once I become a children's librarian serving in a public library.
