Summary of the Online Workshop

Thanks to all those who participated in the online workshop in Term 4 last year.

If you’re anything like me, I’m still trying to catch up with some things from Term 4!

Fortunately, Merryn has put together this handy, easy-to-follow SUMMARY OF THE BLOGGING WORKSHOP. So, if you want the quick, quick version, check out Merryn’s update

Happy blogging! I’m still happy for people to contact me with questions.

    I like the new look for this site. I’ll definitely be making use of all the hard work that has gone into setting this up.

    I’ve been doing a bit of wordpress promotion of my own – as a result every kid at Garin College will now have their own personal (password protected) record of learning. They will each be given a page linked to their form classes blog. Teachers and parents will be able to keep track of their progress at school and comment. The kids were let loose on the site today and loved it. They’ve been commenting on other form classes blogs (all moderated, of course) and are very enthusiastic about the whole process.

    I do have one question. Is it possible to give kids the ability to edit their own page without letting them see other password protected pages? Which is the best user role to give them?

    Fascinating! Please send us the links to these fabulous Garin sites so we can have a look and learn and be inspired.

    I’ve recently been experiementing with the various degrees of access and it seems that itmay not be possible to do as you request– i.e. for students to have editing access to only certain pages in a blog.

    as “Authors”, students could create & edit their own posts, but they can’t edit anything else. as “Editors” they are able to do almost anything (including access all passworded pages). The only thing Editors cannot do is add and remove Administrators.

    An Administrator can add and remove users, including the blog creator!

    I tried allowing an Editor to create a page, and then demoting them to Author in hopes that they could still edit that page. But, alas, no go.
