A Comment about the i3cs21 Learning Summary Assignment

Hi areid30,

I'm going to use other language to illustrate what the Learning Summary could be. Let me know if it helps.

The Learning Summary assignment should be a summary of your learning in this course.

1) Imagine, for example, that you decided to use the "top ten things I learned" as a way to structure the summary.

2) Imagine, for example, that you decided to use a wiki to tell the story; it could be a new wiki you create (1 page for each of the 10 things you want to tell about) or it could be your page on the class learning commons wiki (10 sections on the page you own in the class wiki).

3) Imagine, as you tell about the "10 things," you make reference [to] particular course experiences (e.g., reflections, readings, media, networking, experimentation, etc.) that contributed to your emerging understanding of The Three Cs of 21st Century Teaching and Learning.

4) Imagine you include videos, pictures, links, text, etc. that help me better understand what you want me to know about what you learned.

Here's the same assignment in the words of course requirements:

"You will produce an artifact (e.g., narrative, slideshow, audio, video, concept map, a wiki, etc.) that summarizes the learning experience in i3cs21. The artifact should reference particular course experiences (e.g., reflections, readings, media, networking, experimentation, etc.) that contributed to your emerging understanding of The Three Cs of 21st Century Teaching and Learning, educational technology and media. You will make the artifact available online on or before noon on the Saturday immediately preceding the last session of the course."

How to Eliminate the "Next Blog" Button on Your Blogger Blog

If you want to use blogs with your students, there is Edublogs.org.  No emails needed to add students as contributors and no "Next Blog" button.

If you want students to use a Blogger Blog you have created, I'd recommend you eliminate the "Next Blog" button on your Blogger blog. Students will have to have email accounts for you to be able to add them as authors on the blog.  NOTE: After doing so you have to type blogger.com into the URL address box to access your Blogger dashboard.

Objective: To add #navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none;} to the following.

 

Directions

1) From your Blogger dashboard ( type blogger.com into the URL address box to access your Blogger dashboard) click on the "Layout" link for the blog you want to modify.

2) On the layout page click the Edit HTML tab.

3) Cut and paste #navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none;} into the edit box as pictured above in the first image.

4) When that is done. Click the "Save Template" button. View your blog. Refresh the page.  

The Banner and Nav Bar are gone along with the "Next Blog" button. NOTE: Now you have to type blogger.com into the URL address box to access your Blogger dashboard.
