thanks to
everybody who came today to the blogger workshop! you will find ALL the
materials that were covered today (including the advanced features like
aggregators and syndication, modifying your template, etc.) documented
here:
as always,
any advice about how to improve/expand the documentation to make it more useful
would be much appreciated!
I would
suggest that we talk next week about discussion boards, since there are some
similarities between blogs and discussion boards, but also some really crucial
differences. we could also talk about how to construct assignments using
blogs/boards to make them valuable experiences for the students rather than just
busywork. Karen also found some great materials re: discussion board etiquette
that we can look over together and discuss.
would that
be a good general topic for next week? I'm hoping so - if you have other
ideas/requests, please let me know.
also, last
semester (before a lot of the great new features were released at Blogger!) I
had created a group blog for us to use. Kerry, Rob and I were blogging some
- perhaps folks will be more interested in giving that a try now that you are
blog-initiates:
I'll revamp
the blog and send around a link when it's got the latest Blogger.com features
and anybody who wants to join in that as a "group blog" experiment can just let
me know.
thanks again
everybody -
Laura
