Work @ TAFE

We’ve made some good progress with the initial resource: Getting Started with Blogging in Education after some great feedback from a couple of TALO contributors.
All that’s remaining for this initial resource is to update the final page: Where to from here, and create a pdf resource “My Blogger Cheatsheet” for use with the Create your own Blog! activity. It’s been a great experience building on someone elses work (under a creative commons license), rather than starting from scratch!

I’m hoping to have a go at using the resource during a professional development activity on the 19th of May.

After using the resource and incorporating any feedback, it would be great to advertise it a bit to see if there are others who might want to use and/or contribute to the resource. Although we might want to consider whether it’s worthwhile setting up our own site at that point and planning the scope/focus of the site.

I’d like to look at using standard Wiki pages for other resources on the site too (such as a “First steps with RSS”), as it’ll allow resources to be updated much more freely than the current book format. We’ve used the ‘book’ format for this initial resource, as it is very structured and hopefully helpful for newbies, but other resources could be simply a wiki page outlining the best links to, for eg, take your first steps with RSS. I still haven’t had a chance to see if Drupal can support Sean’s idea of a categorised rating system for elearning links… it’s definitely possible, but I’m not sure whether there’s already a Drupal module for it or not… hopefully we’ll get a chance to research this soon!
