Moodle 1.9 Theme Design

I've made a commitment to read this book and do a review of it. I'm glad the subtitle is "Beginner's Guide" because I'm still a beginner to Moodle myself!

Twitpics

I used Twitpics to upload my first pictures to Twitter @besschinlibrary.
I took some pictures of the students during their mock senate proceedings which took place in the library. I've taken pictures before and posted them to my Library Leaves blog but this was the first time I've tried Twitter. I also discovered that you don't even have to go to the Twitpics site, you can merely send them as an email attachment to an address they give you with the tweet as the subject line.
I also posted pictures of our new "Wild Things" mural.

Take a look at the video "Connected Student Toolbox" for a vision of the future.

ShareThis


Here's a really neat free tool that works in conjunction with your browser to enable you to share on lots of different forums really easily.

ShareThis adds an icon, like the RSS feed icon, right in the address box of your browser. Clicking on it opens a list of various social networking links such at Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Delicious, etc. In just couple clicks you can share stuff in a variety of ways.

Social Media Revolution?

An interesting video referred on LM_NET by Lizanel Boman from Ryan Seacrest's page(!?).
