Month: April 2017 (Page 3 of 3)

Hi all,

Thanks for your participation in the website assessment activity in class today, and sorry that we were a bit pinched for time at the end.

A reminder to please write your brainstorm answers into the Google Doc. Just follow the format that’s already there. No need to replicate information, but we’re trying to compile everyone’s thoughts into one central place. From this, we will determine working groups and those groups can use these issues that everyone has come up with to do questions.

Also, one more reminder to please embed your prezis! Detailed instructions are in the last announcement that I sent, so please check there. With ALL posts, it is very important to view your post from the public-facing side of the site (or preview it before publishing) so that you can see whether it looks right or not. Some of you aren’t doing this, since obvious errors are being left in. Remember, your names are attached to these, so you want them to look good!

Hi everyone,

I just scrolled through the neighborhood visit posts on our site and it looks like only one group managed to get the embedding correct for the prezi (thanks Evan and Elina!). The whole point of this is that you can embed your prezi right into the post without having to click on a link to other sites, which is what we want. So again, please edit your posts as follows:

On a single line of text, type [prezi id='______']. Check that you are using square brackets and single quotation marks. In the blank space, type your prezi id. To find this, just go to your prezi and copy just the letters and numbers that follow prezi.com/ in the browser address. Do not include any words that follow the next /. Your prezi address should be something like prezi.com/_________/your-title-here. You should only use the stuff in that blank space. Preview your post and make sure it looks right. If you’re having trouble, please email me.

Please do not just paste a link to your prezi, we want them embedded in the post. Also, make sure that your prezi is set to public viewing, which can be adjusted on the main page of your prezi (Annmarie and Lexi, I think this is the issue with your post).

For tomorrow’s class, please everyone bring your laptops, as we’ll be doing some online work.
