MixBook

For my last emergent technology, I chose to do a digital scrapbook. It was easy to sign up and upload pictures, but if you want a lot of pictures in your scrapbook it takes a while to upload. After that, you may choose a template or create your scrapbook from scratch. I started off with the blank scrapbook but i'm not very creative so I switched to a template. After that, it's really easy. You just choose the page template you want and move your photos to the image boxes. I didn't have any trouble at all while creating this. The only tip I have about this website is you must have patience. Like I said before, the pictures take a while to upload and the website is a little slow, which can be frustrating but it's definitely worth it!

Here's my scrapbook I made:

  1. Hi Kristin,
    Great job on your digital scrapbook...you are always so creative with your projects. I loved the quotes and designs on the pages. I had considered this type of project, but felt like I didn't have the time to invest in it at this point in the semester. I cannot wait to explore this site. My son will be graduating from basic training next week and I want to build something like this to send out to the family! Thank you so much for sharing this technology and your wonderful photos...and thanks for the warning to be patient, something I do not have alot of when I am learning new technology! Take care and have a great summer!

  2. This was great! It was exactly what you could make traditionally all online. I am going to sign up for this site...my brother and his family live in Seattle and this will be great to keep them up to date with everything going on...Nice job!!

  3. I'm looking forward to playing around with this site. My family is spread out over the different state and this is a great tool to help us feel closer. I'll pass the info onto them too so they can do the same. You did a great job with it. Can't believe it's already the end of the semester. Have a great summer and good luck with the rest of your schooling. Jenny

  4. Hey your scrapbook is really cute! Another blog I commented on used a different scrapbooking site but it didn't work well for her. This site seems awesome though!
