After John D'Arcy's excellent workshop (the feedback was uniformly positive!), I figured it would help if we came up with some kind of manual for those who want something like that just to pull things together. But we need everyone's feedback, so take a look at what we've done so far. It's still very much work in progress...

Just a few comments so far:
ReplyDelete1. before placing any kind of file online (i.e. documents, spreadsheets, videos), review the terms of agreement of the site where you plan to upload it. Some of them claim ownership for anything placed in their site.
2. Safari is also available for windows users.
Here is a sample link to a site that provides free download of Safari:

3. Since going digital also provides us with a lot of free info, graphics and the likes, it is important to let our students get into the habit of citing sources.
3.a. for pics: a simple url of where they got the image can be a good starting point. (We can use iPhoto for this purpose. Details to follow, unless anyone is willing to jump in and help me explain this)
3.b. for info: www.easybib.com provides easy to do bibliographies. Another good site for citing resources in APA format is:

I guess that's it for now I'll try to post some more tips next time. :D
