Why let our students blog?

Published by Mike Temple under Video

Here’s a nice video from TeacherTube by Rachel Boyd on children and blogging in schools.

Just to note: this method does not seem to be working at the moment

To post a video, copy the video’s code from the edublogs box on the right hand side of the video frame in TeacherTube, then paste it in the HTML selection on your edublog post page (the tab at the top of the post)

You can see it here

Putting photos or saved pics in a post

Published by Mike Temple under Google, Photo, Pictures, Powerpoint

I had not really grasped what this involved but I think delayed intelligence (or not) has finally kicked in.

I was working with a teacher today who used the upload function to host a picture on edublogs – click on browse under the edit box, then upload, after uploading, click “send to editor”

This pops the picture into the page and you can then resize it.

As previously mentioned in another post, I have been using Picasa web albums to host my pictures as I can upload them in bulk – whether I’m going to use them or not.

Adding a photo album slideshow using Picasa web albums (Google)

Anyway – to the point

If you go to your uploaded Google picasa web albums you can view your pictures – and use them easily

Just click your mouse just to the right of the top left hand corner of your picture and it will turn bluish, showing it has been selected.

Now simply copy and paste this into your blog post and resize to fit
