I had a great day working on the Widget Warehouse Canvas space<\/a><\/strong>! I was motivated to focus on that this weekend because of the Canvas Writing-Enhanced-Curriculum<\/strong>\u00a0W<\/strong>orkshop<\/strong><\/em> on Monday and Tuesday, which seems like a great opportunity to connect with other faculty at my school (such online opportunities are few and far between in the very face-to-face world that is my school). Are you an OU faculty member or graduate student instructor? Come play!\u00a0Online Mini Course: Writing Enriched Curriculum<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick overview of the things I got done:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Set up\u00a0navigation bar<\/strong>. I used the (awful) “Redirect Tool” to add some useful links to the navigation bar in the course. There’s a link there now to this\u00a0blog, plus the internal navigation I need.<\/p>\n

Created a Widget Catalog<\/strong>. I will update this Catalog page<\/strong><\/a> as I add new widgets. And there are now five, count ’em, five widgets in there, all with Canvas-friendly https iframe options.<\/p>\n

Added new widgets<\/strong>. Now in addition to the\u00a0Growth Mindset Cats<\/a><\/strong>., there are widgets on\u00a0Writing<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Reading<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Time<\/a><\/strong>, and the\u00a0H.E.A.R.T.<\/a> <\/strong>topics.<\/p>\n

Built an omni-randomizer<\/strong>. On both the Homepage and the Catalog page, there is now an omni-randomizer which shows items from all five widgets at random. It’s easy to update, too!<\/p>\n

I’m especially excited about the Writers and Writing widget<\/strong><\/a> ready to go. If I have time tonight, I’ll also do a punctuation humor widget… because you can never have too much humor when it comes to English punctuation. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
