Edublogs Tutorials

I thought it was about time I had a go with this, so here’s a great flower display I took in a park in Normandy, France in September 2007

BTW, CleVR is really VERY simple to use and is helped if your camera has the panorama shot setting as mine does. If not, just remember to keep the photos at the same level and overlap at least 1/4

For those of you who use your blogs for students to access, why not mobilise it so they can access the content from their mobile devices.

Joe Dale has this on his blog and I think it’s a great step forward - thanks again Joe

Mofuse is free and easy to use

Joe says

Just imagine doing the same for your departmental MFL blog where you could encourage your pupils to access written and audio material on their mobiles outside of the classroom in their own time. What a great idea!

Just use your mobile to go online and add in the website address - note no www et voila! Blog feeds on your mobile http://edublogstutorials.mofuse.mobi/

There’s also a badge in the sidebar with the address linked to it

Firstly, why would you want to do this?

I have the BBC news sent directly to my blog and it is updates automatically - so no work for me.

There should be a plugin called Aggr which makes this task really easy and it seems to have now disappeared - hence the reason my feed was not working.

To work around this, you need to use a third party (free) site called Pageflakes.

• sign up for Pageflakes
• if you are very visual, you can use this to read all your feeds
• you can import these feeds from another reader if you want to try and see how it looks
• there’s a menu button (literally a button)
• in there you will see on the LHS  ‘add RSS feed’
• click on this and ad the rss feed for the site you want to use
• you can choose to import all your feeds
• add your opml file where is asks
• you get this file by clicking the ‘export’ option in your reader
• in google, it says ‘manage my subscriptions’
• this will bring all your feeds in for you to see and use
• choose the feed you want to add to your blog
• click on the email logout the top of the feed box
• choose ‘get flake’
• copy the code
• note the page will need to be set to public in order to work
• paste the code into a post using the ‘code’ tab or
• paste it into a sidebar widget box
• voila

check out my BBC news feed

I came across this site with lots of good visuals to help you get started in Edublogging Check it out here 

Just as a tip, it would appears that once you have added the embed code for this quiz, it is not possible to go back and edit - that’s my findings, anyway - so make sure you have it all done and correct before you add in the code and click publish

The site is mystudiyo and is free to use

Joe had a French quiz that looked pretty good and you are able to grab the code and add these to your own blogs, so you do not need to create them all from scratch - you can share

There’s also a facility to have a quiz where users can ad in their own questions - moderated, of course, so you can get your class to contribute as well as consume.

Once again, thanks to Joe Dale via Twitter for this tip

Mysudiyo.com is a great free site that really brings quizzes to Edublogs. You can add pictures, video and up to 4 answers for each question. The potential is great

I have made up a quick demo just to see how this works and embeds
