Themeefy Reviews “Themeefy lets you grab pretty much anything you want off the Web, and add your own materials, to create a personalized magazine that can be shared/embedded wherever you want. It looks pretty neat and simple.” - Larry Ferlazzo onhttp://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2011/11/16/i-like-themeefy/ It “could be fun tool for teachers and librarians who are teaching students about curation and guiding them through the process of collecting reliable sources and giving proper attribution. The final layout of Themeefy collections is likely to be far more engaging for students than many of the other available curation tools. I could also see using it to create more engaging research guides that could then be shared online or embedded on the library’s website.” - Carli Spina on http://carlispina.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/use-themeefy-to- create-an-online-magazine-on-any-topic/
