Good morning, or should we type afternoon? We started the day out a little gloomy
because Rich had left for an overnight fishing trip, and Linda had gone with
her husband to a coin trade show for the day.
I’m thinking hmmm. No one is
going to be around to talk to, but then we pushed ourselves over to this other
happy space, where we’re thinking it does leave a perfectly uninterrupted day
to be typing or otherwise on the computer.
That’s the really nice part that got us smiling.
Yesterday, we had not written a very good entry because of
all the little stumbling blocks that appeared through our writing period of 5-6
hours. But, today shouldn’t be so
bad. We’d like to start off then with
where we left off yesterday. We had just
posted a couple of pictures of our new LMS (learning management system). We thought if you need to go back and
reference that – no problem, they are on the bottom of the last entry and just
need to tap on them for a full screen … we’re going to do something similar to
that right now, and then see what comes of it.
There we go … we switched over to the second course we
started and this one is being called Content DID 101. We are now at the syllabus page and smiling
over its general neatly ordered presence.
There is a center column which is white space and then flanked on either
side by two much thinner columns that represent first on the left side the menu
options, and then on the left side is a calendar. We would like to add something to it today I
think. Maybe just to try it out.
Good good … we make a calendar entry that states …
due:
Nov 3 at 11:59pm
Ann's Tasks for the Day
- Finish blog entry by end of the
day
- Finish adding the blog links
- Finish adding the page entries
for the Home page from the Syllabus
It works for me!
Ok, then why don’t we go back to the syllabus. The next thing we should do is glance over
the Contents of the course for DID101 which is the menu options. This is them in order

We’re just refreshing our memory of what is in the
list. We need this kind of rebooting
first thing in the morning, umm afternoon.
Nothing really stands out for this moment as to anything we’d really
like to cover. We want to continue with
the home screen and there is no one to make announcements to at because we’re
not published. We’ve got a couple of
assignments on the board now – one being our calendar list of tasks for the
day. You have an option of adding it as
an event or a assignment. I figure more
in line with the list being my assignment, so that is where it landed and we
coded it as a pass or fail.
We then skim down to our “Page” section which is also
entered by the first link in the syllabus.
It looks like this:
I think that we can be happy with this for the
time being, and then you might notice there are two blue links for two other
pages – the first is “About Us” and the second is “About Others in our live.” I think Dr. Marvin stated it right on
Thursday night in that this can all be for practice. We’re just going to need going through our
thoughts one at a time and then choosing between what is right and wrong about
what we are trying to do and then progressing that all along. When we asked Dr. Marvin for constructive
criticism he indicated that we had an awful lot on our syllabus page and that
we might take that down some. He’s got
to be right … I mean he is Dr. Marvin, but we were not able to come up with a
better idea at the time. I’m thinking
this morning we are going to need putting in things like the main headers like
Definitions, Glossary/Terms, Signs and Symptoms, and co-morbid disorders, but
leave out all the direct links to the reading material. Let me check for a moment and see how that
would look and if it is a relatively easy thing to be doing.
Ok, we learned a little more. We can create pages for the information that
will be listed as individual floating entities that can be easily dropped into
the page, but unless we go through the home page, and list the entries as items
added to the module, they aren’t going to have an arrow showing the previous
and future items. This could be a deal
breaker. There is one more thing that
would assist though in that they have a link to “hide module contents” so that
you can collapse them and not see them until ready to look at each module. So then the simple part would be in conveying
– sure to the learners – great idea to hide the modules until ready to look at
them because they can get overwhelming.
If you had one content page for the module with link pages and no
arrows, the syllabus would be a lot neater though and the learner could choose
just the pages they want to skip too, and then I would suppose that you would
just hit the browser back arrow to get back to the Content page with Table of
reading contents. I suppose that would
work too. I think too that the module in
themselves – as long as there is content in them will arrow over or back to the
next module … which would then bring up the next reading list or anything else
loaded in the module contents section like assignments, quizzes and tests –
which I think Dr. Marvin was looking more at.
The only problem is that it seems that the system … no I’m
wrong there. The system WILL delete the
deleted pages from the “all pages” links.
That’s important because if I changed the system, I would want the
approximate 25 entries to be redone so that they are all consistently floating. I think that would work. I’m going to sit back though for a moment and
think again through the process so that I can make a decision. I do like the thought of the Syllabus being
cleaned up in that I think there are already a lot of things to load from that
page as Section headers that would be most important to the learner. It would be easier for the learners to skip
around to their own interests too … they’d still have the list of pages to
choose from or go to, but it wouldn’t be on the front page. Hmm, still getting used to that … I was
liking the visual of adding content to that front page and I still like it
arrowing over to the next one. Think Ann
… think clearly here.
Ok, so maybe not too clearly. I think basically what we found was a list of
questions, and then we posted them in FB to keep record, but might as well do
it here too. Hold on.
What questions do you ask yourself every day?
Believe it or not, the
kind of questions you ask determine the kind of life you lead. That’s because
your questions trigger its own set of answers, which lead to certain emotions,
which then lead to certain actions (or inactions), followed by results. If you
ask yourself limiting questions, you’ll get limited results. If you ask
yourself mind-opening, forwarding questions, you’ll gain a lot more out of
them.

We’re back. This last
time we copy and pasted, but we did not try to skip through the questions. We tried a few times between finding the
questions and now, but we became lost in trying to figure out again who we
were. It was like the more questions we
asked, the more lost we became. I think
it is a good list though if one had the time to go through it carefully. I don’t know again why we were looking for a
list like this. Maybe I better read back
for a second
Nope, read back and it doesn’t seem to make sense. How the hell did we … ok ok … I guess it
doesn’t matter. Someone in our system
was looking for life questions I’m sure.
We were last though I think evaluating the Canvas LMS. I don’t know where we are with that. Our fingers are a little cold too, so I think
I’m going to try warming them up so I could type better. Hmm, wonder where we put those gloves?
We only found one glove … that always seems to be the way …
but we did bring the small SW lap blanket back.
We’re mostly under that. I
thought our pajamas were warm enough, but maybe they are more for summer. They are long, but sleeveless. Yup yup … It’s up to 2:30 PM now and were
then naturally still at home with pajamas.
I wonder … we’ve been taking our shower later in the day, but maybe that
would help warm us up? Hmm, maybe take
some medicine too. That probably be a
good thing, right? BRB
Hmm, we are back, but it is already 9:04 PM. I don’t really know what happens on time
though it seems we’ve been on the computer all day. We did take our shower, and I know we watched
a block of ten videos on education, and then there was just a lot of checking
on quite a few things
