Going on leave

I'm off for a week and don't know if the promised wifi in the flat will work - or whether I will take the college netbook on top of all the other reading material and shoes I need.  However, I do have that feeling that I need to keep up and keep going and there's so much to learn.

I spent yesterday trying to figure out how the Lightbox Gallery works.  I set up an a course for the other e-Learning Champions and found out that Moodle likes you to upload things to a central area and then 'draw' from that area to other places, like the Lightbox Gallery.  The YouTube video I watched said that I should then be able to add to the gallery or let others add to it but I can't find the option to do that.  I will and it's all part of the system of getting to grips with it.  As my colleague pointed out again - if we're not finding it completely intuitive (and why should it be completely intuitive?), it will help us take it slowly with staff.

Hotel decoration in Torquy - first BECTA TEN meeting.  Sums it up nicely!

Must now go and catch up with the 'back end' set up - linking MIS, uploading students and creating courses automatically (I LOVE this feature).
