More to Learn

September 13, 2002 By Will Richardson

Pat notes that Frontier 9 has been released, and it looks like there are some new options for Manila that I’m gonna need to learn. I have to say that so far my students seem to be taking to it pretty well. But here are just a few things for the Wish List:

  • An easier way to create links to departments. (You can see by my instructions here that there’s gotta be an easier way.)
  • A way to move posts around in a collaborative weblog. My Lit kids are adding the content, but they’re not necessarily doing it in the correct order. It occurs to me now that one solution may be to not have them post to the home page and instead leave their posts “pending” until those who were supposed to go before them have posted. Then I can send them to the page.
  • An easier way to link stories…I’m not having my journalism students use stories because the extra step they have to go through. I need to think more about this too.

    Karen is thinking this stuff through too, which makes me feel a little better. She’s talking about doing weekly wrapups, a la Barbara. I think at some point, I will do that too with my journalism kids, maybe post links to Best Practices from within their own weblogs. One of the reasons I wanted to do this was to facilitate the “learning from one another” process…I just have to make sure they get to see the good stuff.
