- Ladyzulu worked out how to:
- Copy an essay draft from MS Word into a blog posting - the formatting came through quite nicely - feel free to read and comment (she's the 1st person to publish a blog draft - congratulations! :) ).
- Create a concept map in MS Word, using the Drawing toolbar, then using PrintScreen and MS Paint to capture and save the image, and then uploading the image into a blog posting - see example concept map. For more info on how to do this, see creating a concept map.
- Amanda worked out how to:
- Copy a table from an MS Word document into a blog posting - the formatting came through very well - see example.
- Embed a video from youtube in a blog posting - see example.
- Add a photo to one's blogger profile
- Fiona was keen to embrace the possibilities of online concept mapping using MindMeister. She had already created a concept map for her essay and we then worked out how to embed the map into a blog posting - see example. There are several really appealing features of this approach, e.g.,
- a detailed, readable map can be presented
- zoom and scroll
- nodes can be hyperlinked
- collaborative maps can be developed
- free, online

Hi James, I've also come across the fact that when you click and drag the map it links itself to the MindMeister webpage - it wasn't doing that yesterday, so i'm not sure how to fix it! Might have to have another look at the configuration in the edit HTML?

A big thanks to Ladyzulu for posting your draft and for James's constructive comments - this gives the rest of us a much better idea on how to construct our blog essays and how to meet the assessment criteria. Certainly answers several questions I was muddling over. Cheers,Karen.
Fi,
Hmmm...looks like a sneaky little bit of advertising which seems to appear after a while. I just tried posting a fresh concept map and it didn't have the link. I wonder what happens if you put the same embed code in another posting - same thing? If its still there, you could try copying the map and then pasting in the new embed code. But it would probably just provide a temporary workaround.
HI james just thought I'd let you know that I used MS word 2007 to create my concept map. It has a great chart maker function in it. Then I just used the print screen and paint application to get it on my blog.
