Much of this past week has been dedicated to our final projects and reviewing the rubric. Since the due date is next Friday, we reviewed the rubric a lot so everyone knows what to do.
One of the tutorials we did learn about was in regard to polls and surveys. Using a site called www.polldaddy.com, a person can make any poll or survey and then copy a code to put it on their blog. (See post, “What is your favorite music?”)
I think a poll would be very useful for my final project. There are many times when voting in a group is difficult and if everyone had a poll they could go to and only vote once, I think it would be easier. Also, there would be no conflict over how many people voted what, since the poll would tell us. For my purposes, a survey wouldn’t really be helpful. However, at the end of the year, I could use a survey to ask people what they thought of their year in Natural Helper so the officers that follow us can have feedback.
Edublogs also updated its dashboard in the past week. I personally like the update because I think it makes it easier to navigate around. I think they organized more things under less categories and it eliminated some of the clutter. I had no problem adjusting to it.
The only thing that did pose a concern at first was widgets. I was used to dragging the widgets and that isn’t quite what you do on the new dashboard. You have to click the “add” button and edit it from there. I suppose it isn’t really different, but enough to throw me off the first time.
Despite that, I like the update and find it more helpful to navigate around.
