I will have a look at calenders - I think it would be useful to have one embedded into the blog so students can see where assignments are due and when we are having events.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-87216120614666354692008-07-06T00:54:00.000+10:002008-07-06T00:54:00.000+10:00Sarah, I meant to mention above that I like how yo...Sarah, I meant to mention above that I like how you've used tags (or is it categories?) to organize the course--under 'Course Information' in the right side-bar. I'm sure this will be very handy for you students to find exactly what they need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-85065860446388119452008-07-06T00:50:00.000+10:002008-07-06T00:50:00.000+10:00Hi Sarah, I'll be interested in how you make out u...Hi Sarah, I'll be interested in how you make out using a blog for your LMS. I've thought about doing this too as I'm much more familiar with how to operate a blog and it seems so much easier to incorporate the web 2.0 tools in which I'm interested.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Regarding using Google calendar, I have used it for my high school students with great success. I have embedded it into a 'traditional' website (see <A HREF="http://www.sd67.bc.ca/schools/homelearners/Grades%208%20%2D%2010/Grade%2010.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A>). As school is not in session right now, the calendar is blank, but if you go back a few months you can see how my colleague and I have used it. I like the option of viewing the calendar in agenda mode. Once I set up the calendar (a different calendar for each grade/year of students) it was easy to embed it into my site. I imagine that it would be equally easy to embed in a blog (especially since your's is a Google blog). Please let me know if I can be of any help getting the calendar set up.<BR/>All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-63706738394066003422008-07-03T17:54:00.000+10:002008-07-03T17:54:00.000+10:00I know what you are saying and if the course was o...I know what you are saying and if the course was open, I might be inclined to change it in order to make it sound a little more inviting - I don't have to have the 'M503.7' bit in the blog title. Having said that, the course will be in a closed environment with a captured audience. It also makes a little easier for students to differentiate between all the different courses they are doing. Thansk for the suggestion.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-54699183905008315962008-07-03T17:42:00.000+10:002008-07-03T17:42:00.000+10:00Hi Sarah, my only comment on the set up would be t...Hi Sarah, my only comment on the set up would be the use of M503.7.. sounds like either a very heavy callibre gun, a bullet proof vest, or a radio station..<BR/><BR/>I realise it has something to do with a course that means something to Otago Polytechnic and possibly NZ midwifery education, but I'd be surprised if you said it was commonly known to midwives generally. <BR/><BR/>I reckon you should call it plain and simple: Reflection on <B>Midwifery</B> Practice.
