Well, it wouldn’t be a new project without a new blog: CanvasLIVE Playground<\/strong><\/a>. That will be the space where I can start evolving some CanvasLIVE materials, and of course that is the homepage (blog-as-homepage) for a new Canvas course I created to document and test things: Playground course space<\/a><\/strong>. And I made a URL: Playground.LauraGibbs.net<\/a><\/strong> to make that easy to remember.<\/p>\n

Then I started by testing out my random\/daily Growth Mindset Cats in the DISCUSSION area. It worked! See the screenshots<\/strong><\/a>. I like the idea of exploring possibilities like this that might be helpful to other instructors even if I don’t use Canvas Discussion myself.<\/p>\n

I’ll say more about randomized\/daily content in a separate post (today ran away from me), but first I went to check at the Canvas Community to see what other “random” content I could find there, and I only found randomized quiz questions and randomized group\/peer assignments. I did not find any random content approaches, so hopefully my randomizers can be a good new contribution. I love the power of random: it’s like a game. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, just for fun I will paste in my Growth Mindset Cat randomizer<\/strong><\/a> here; just reload<\/strong><\/a> for more power of random.<\/p>\n
