Learning tools for 2008/2009… revised!
http://andremalan.net/2008/09/learning-tools-for-20082009-revised/So my last post was a bit premature. Here are some of the revisons to the plan: 1) OneNote has failed me. It worked so well in my previous classes, but I am finding it useless at the moment. Why? Well the lectures are carried out differently. In my previous classes the PDFs required a lot of diagrams and annotations… OneNote handled that perfectly. …

FeedWordPress: A Widget Wish
http://jimgroom.umwblogs.org/2008/11/12/feedwordpress-a-widg...it provides us with the ability to incorporate and re-publish sites with RSS feeds that are outside the UMW Blogs environment. All very cool, EDUGLU here we come, yadda, yadda, yadda. My wish now is to do something similar with FeedWordPress to what Andre Malan already has done for BDPRSS.
