But it&#8217;s now Wednesday; I&#8217;ve got 84 blogs up and running and all happily networked (just waiting on 2 more), so I wanted to catch up here a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>First, I want to share the Martin Luther King Day widget which I made, using some King quote posters that I had created a few years ago in honor of the holidays. Like with my other widgets, you will find it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/canvas.ou.edu\/courses\/54178\/pages\/catalog-of-widgets\"><strong>Canvas Widget Warehouse<\/strong><\/a>. There&#8217;s an <a href=\"https:\/\/canvas.ou.edu\/courses\/54178\/pages\/widget-martin-luther-king-day\"><strong>iframe version<\/strong><\/a> you can use inside Canvas, plus <a href=\"https:\/\/canvas.ou.edu\/courses\/54178\/pages\/widget-martin-luther-king-day\"><strong>javascripts<\/strong><\/a> you can use in a blog, like there (just reload for more):<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> var display = \"random\" <\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.lauragibbs.net\/mlk\/mlk400.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Even though I only use that widget one day a year, I am really glad for it: on that day, I replace the <a href=\"http:\/\/ouclassannouncements.blogspot.com\/2017\/01\/martin-luther-king-day-2017.html\"><strong>daily class announcement blog post<\/strong><\/a> (which students see as the Canvas homepage) with a post that features the widget, and I also include the 200-pixel version of the widget in the blog&#8217;s sidebar. That means students who are doing work for the class (and that means quite a few of them) get to see multiple quotes throughout the day, hopefully learning something new about Dr. King and his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/canvas.ou.edu\/courses\/54178\/pages\/widget-martin-luther-king-day\"><strong>Martin Luther King widget page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/canvas.lauragibbs.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-18-at-3.48.19-PM-e1484772526509.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-406\" src=\"http:\/\/canvas.lauragibbs.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-18-at-3.48.19-PM-e1484772526509.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"307\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Crossposted at <a href=\"https:\/\/community.canvaslms.com\/groups\/university-of-oklahoma\/activity\"><strong>OU Canvas Community<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did not post anything in this blog so far this week: there was Martin Luther King Day on Monday, and then school started on Tuesday \u2014 and the first day of school is always wild.
