Wow, I’m blown away not just by the content but also by the presentation!
If you’re running an edublogs.org workshop at your school or just introducing colleagues to the site you won’t go far wrong than Blogging in WordPress (.pdf) put together by the prolific K. Boan.
Thanks for bearing with us as we negotiate the tricky path of integrating different technologies – and some of us try to move house at the same time!
The great folks at Wikispaces have put together some very useful options in your admin bar which K. Boan has been kind enough to explain graphically here.
In the meantime I’m working on getting all the themes fixed up… so thanks again for your patience.
It’s taken a while but I’m delighted to announce that over the next week we’ll be rolling out free (and ad free!) Wikispaces for all edublogs.org users.
So all existing users will get a free Wikispace – which’ll get kinda integrated into their edublog space (through the admin menu and in the sidebar) – and all new users will too… moving edublogs.org towards what I really want it to be (I think): a one-stop, freely available, non-commercial shop for all your educational technology needs :)
Onwards & upwards!
Do ya like the piccie :) Here’s the article! And for a limited time it looks like I’m on their Higher Ed Homepage.
“A LOT of people spend a lot more than $US3000 a year on their hobbies,” James Farmer says, laughing.
His hobby may be better described as a quasi-religious quest: he preaches a gospel of interactive learning.
At his web portal, edublogs.org, teachers and students can set up free blogs using WordPress, an open-source tool…. [read the rest]
This is a soft launch (will email everyone later) of the all new edublogs.org forums.
As some of you may remember I experimented with a forums area using Drupal a while back but it didn’t have any real impact so this time there’s a few serious improvements.
It’s using the excellent bbPress (thanks Matt :) which is not just great forum software but is also integrated with the edublogs.org database so that all you have to do to sign in is to use your regular edublogs.org username and password. We might even be able to do this with cookies down the line so you’re auto-logged in but I’m pretty happy with it so far!
Here’s the RSS feed to keep up with what’s going down.
So do go over, make some requests, share some bugs, tell people about your great edublogs… the floor is yours!
This is a really great series of handouts & presentations to get you started with blogging, especially cool is the Using Edublogs video :)
And there’s also one for Bloglines!
Many thanks to Joe Friedhoff for putting these together.
And as if that wasn’t enough you Pam has created a stylish little edublogs.org badge you can use too!
