2zanne’s Weblog

I am slowly figuring out how to link sites but posting videos into my blog or my course blog remain a struggle for me. I spent most of last night just trying to add a Voki (I think that’s what it’s called) to my course blog. Angie has it on the sidebar of her class blog. You would think I would have this figured out by now. I had to shut down my computer after a couple of hours otherwise it was going to end up under one of my tires.   Although, I did have fun creating my own Voki. I wanted to add it to our course blog to try and lure some of my students to try out blogging. I thought maybe if they had alternate character they might want to try blogging.

I read an interesting article in the Leader Post yesterday (Saturday, March 8-B4) regarding the possible expulsion of a student for the use of Facebook to create a study group. It talks about how online study groups are “here and now” and that post-secondary institutions need update. Very interesting.
