Mumbles and Mutterings

A New Beginning

I've decided to split up my blogging, so this blog will be for testing only. Personal observations will be posted on my blog on Blogger where I have a private and a public blog. We're testing WordPress for UM-Flint blogs for students and faculty/staff at blogs.umflint.edu/drowden. Check it out!

ITS has a blog

On Monday, ITS announced that the department news would now be in blog format http://blogs.umflint.edu/its/. Much effort went into finding a blog system that would be easily implemented and configured for temporary use (until the CMS is live). I'm expecting departments to start clammoring for their own blog. Hopefully the CMS will be easy so that no blog training will be needed. LOL!

Read about the mBlog phenomenon in the Michigan Daily article "Blogging revolution reaches University".

Slippery Tuesday

It was a mess out there this morning...great way to start the work week =( So relieved that I drove to Ann Arbor yesterday instead of today for the Clicker demos. I watched three interesting demonstrations: eInstruction, Interwrite PRS, and Turning Technologies. I missed the Quizdom demo due to trying to find a place to park and then trying to find the building. Hopefully, the rest of the week will be easier than this morning.
