This month I’ve added the following apps to my iPhone.
Finally got around to having a play with Foursquare, just in time for Facebook to start doing pretty much the same thing. I like the Foursquare app, very simple to check in quickly, and I like that any tips people have left for a venue are easy to access. To be honest I don’t think I’ll keep using it, but that’s more about not having a large network of friends on there rather than any issue with the app itself.
The problem with the school holidays is it gives me more time to think about things than usual. Most years I come up with something to trial in the school to suck up some more of our staff free time, this year I’m thinking maybe we could extend the idea to a few others that are reading this.
Today I needed to move a whole set of resources from one course to another. Last year we had a ‘Learning to Learn’ course on Moodle that all students followed during tutor time. However, the page grew over the year to a point where there were too many resources so this year we are creating a different course for each year group. So, what I need to do is move all the year 7 resources to a year 7 page, the 8′s to an 8, etc. The ‘import’ feature in course admin can help you do this. This is a nice easy process- you need to be a teacher on the course you are importing to and from and then just follow these steps.
