Blogging Made Easier

One of the problems I have with blogging is viewing something on the web, thinking I should blog a comment on it but moving on. ScribeFire is a plug-in/addon to Firefox that makes the blogging process easier as you can actually blog while you are still viewing the web page in front of you. It opens a window below the web page in which you can write your blog entry and then send it up to the blog, either as a full post or as a draft. Check it out

Below is a snapshot of what it looks like with the text of something I posted to the Directors Corner earlier today:

"Being Net Savvy..." resources available.

"In mid-August, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) held a Focus Session on "Being Net Savvy: Developing Skills for a Rapidly Changing World." The resources from the meeting are now online. They include session materials, podcasts, and speaker interviews. Among the presentations were "Prisms around Student Learning: Information Literacy, IT Fluency, and Media Literacy" by Craig Gibson of George Mason U., "Faculty Development and the Net Savvy Student" by Bradley Cohen of U. Minnesota, and "Learning 2.0: Staff Development for a 2.0 World" by Jeff Trzeciak of McMaster U. Several videos of students discussing aspects of being net savvy are included, including one that is an interview I did of my college student daughter, Meg Lippincott."
