Keep Calm: 105theHive is Alive #Radio4Learning
You are likely familiar with the "Keep Calm and Carry On" meme that originated with the finding of a WWII-era poster? Up until today, the entry on the keepcalm-o-matic website, together with the Wikipedia entry, had been my primary source of information on the story. The website houses the poster generator which I used in the past for my Canadian variant, "Keep Calm and Paddle a Canoe" poster.
However, this morning the Twitter stream delivered a link to a wonderful video, The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On, recently added to YouTube. The video tells the story of the booksellers who found and subsequently shared the poster, and gives a wonderful glimpse into the character of their beautiful store. In addition came information of the Keep Calm iPhone app by Barter Books. The app is free, includes access to the video, and allows you to create your own posters right on the phone. (Be sure to get the right one, there are several Keep Calm style apps.)
#iPPP2Day08 Create some calm (or some other emotion) today using the Keep Calm app. (It's FREE). You might want to experiment with a photo background to complement the text.
