Reply: @marknair59, This latest version of WordPress that Edublogs now uses does automatically delete the bad code from Word — so that definitely has helped. In terms of your other question it really depends on what you are wanting them to do in the assignment. It may be a combination of them writing reflections on a blog and writing the final product on a wiki is the best option. However it is hard to know without more specific details in terms of what you are waiting them to write.

Sue:Obviously a problem with posing to blogs with word, though comments above offer solutions. Here’s MY problem. I want students to do some large projects like a long paper, powerpoint, stuff like that. I have an RSS feed on my own blog so I can track when my students post to it. Thus, potentially I can track submissions by students. Wrting a paper on a blog seems ridiculous. One reader comments about a program that probably removes code, and allows you to post. I don’t want to do anything until I get this figured out. Any suggestions.

Yes, it has to do with code.I just want to thank everyone for writing because you just helped me to avoid some future frustration with my highschool classes blogging. You guys are marvelous.

Hello, I just used the Blog User creator to create Blogs for my Blog Castellano. I don’t see them in my Blog as Users, yet.

@grw04002 @Phil Hart @Ken Allen If @grw04002 means this blog http://mrwaldron.edublogs.org/ and the latest post on the blog – he is correct – there is definitely no extra code in his latest post. Understandably if he pasted directly from Word into the Visual Editor of a blog post he would ask why I am saying this if there is no extra code.So we have two choices 1) he is right 2) he is doing something that is removing the code. Time to test! And guess what – testing it looks like he is correct. To me it looks like with this version of WordPress MU – which is WPMU 2.8.2 it is removing the extra code. Here is my test post – Testing Word. I tried it several times and I’m not getting any code being transferred by just copy & pasting directing into the visual editor.Could some one also please test and confirm with me they are getting the same results?Interesting facts about this. WordPress MU is still including the Paste from Word button in their advanced formating toolbar. If this is correct – are they aware it is no longer needed? WordPress.com support material currently still provides exactly the same advice as me – although their support material is for an older version of WPMU.

Always investigate! Because more often than not — they aren’t wrong and further investigation was definitely needed. So thanks @grw04002 for bringing it to our attention…and based on this what advice would/should I give others re-Word — no idea Still pondering.Ken Allan Reply: August 16th, 2009 at 12:44 am@Sue Waters – I don’t know if there is a ‘help’ here. But many decades ago, when I was drafting research reports and a thesis, my good supervisor, Ted, was always ready with advice.He didn’t criticise, but proffered ideas and suggestions. One of his best was in the use of language in scientific reports – I think his advice could also help in reporting on blogs.Ted explained that if a finding seemed to lead to a conclusion, rather than state that conclusion it was better to say, “it suggests that . . .”.If an observation tended to refute a claim, rather than say the claim was in error it was better to say, “the observations did not support the claim”.If almost unequivocal evidence was amassed refuting a claim, it was collegial to suggest that a closer look at the evidence was in order but to admit that there was still margin for more observation to be made.Humility goes a long way with this, but it’s hard to be humble. I know how difficult it is, for I’m the most humble person I know. Catchya laterphilhart Reply: August 16th, 2009 at 3:58 am@Ken Allan, I guess I was coming at from the point that all observers were until very recently reporting the same behaviour. (As an investigator, I looked at the source code and understood why it was behaving in the manner reported, but that is merely an aside.)I think you comment is entirely true when it comes to investigating natural systems. BTW: I am still waiting for Higg’s boson to put in an unequivocal appearance.

Reply: @Virginia, Your ClustrMap looks fine and is centered how it should be. With the ones that aren’t working you will need to copy fresh HTML embed code, paste it into NotePad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac), save as a .txt file and email to me. You should see my email address attached to my comment. This way I can check the embed code and see what happens when I add.

It’s been fun to see what everyone is learning! Reply: Hi Alice, it was also lovely to meet you. I have had an excellent time on the trip.

Yes it has been a memorable trip and I would love to return as a tourist with my family to visit sights. Darren, Kelly, Robin and I have all been really great friends now for several years. I first started networking with Darren not long after he made Pay Attention (probably similar time to when you started interacting with him). When they ran Open PD I used to get up early in the morning to attend. So I really enjoyed sitting next to them during the two keynotes I attended. I personally think Americans will struggle with the concept of hosting it outside USA. Will be interesting to see if it happens. I also think they don't realise that their presentations at the conference are probably very USA centric. Perhaps I'm wrong but I think people who live outside USA think more about whether we are being too locally focused compared to Americans. I know when I write posts about use of images in blog posts I get challenged by USA educators for not discussing Fair use laws -- because they don't appreciate that the law mainly applies to USA.

Sue, it sounds like you had the trip of a lifetime. I enjoyed follwing your tweets especially as you notice the small things in life like the difference in the taste of Coke! I liked the photo op you had with the OpenPD crew – so you could say that this was one of the best perks you could have working for Edublogs. Maybe as NECC will become ISTE from next year there is a chance it could be hosted down under one year and the North Americans will have make the pilgrimage.
