socially constructed moodia / calendar

sounds kind of cool - a moodier approach to media.. not sure about media after all..
why are we thinking about mediatisation of learning - I know thats a crazy thing to say but what if we weren't so keen on a grabitalland hang onto it like crazyapproach and instead settled down to the tiny details of learning prowess... more about that on friday... something about the individual.. I wonder if I can pull this off - an ephemereal moment in the oblong history of virtual education..

setting up a calendar is an anathema - timeframing - I was reading about a sequential approach ch to learning - a pace driven by time.. grrr
what if we could pace our own learning - less reliant on calendars... hmm I know its not going to work and I am once a gain a meaningless subject void of institutional desire
err you need a google account - of course you do...
Log into google
2nd link from left is a calendar link
mutter mutter
- enter a few events of the week - thats the next step...
erhem - Im sorry I have a noisy boy as a class mate tonight.. his name is boy stormy - yeah yeah
then
in the left navigation area - click the drop calendar that is next to your calendar and then change the colour
and now having your calendar so pretty and also featuring a different language - how did I get that - wait up - must go back a few steps - always freaky because for some strange reason the machine takes over and decides that it is going to delete all and sundry and strangely even my brain / memory (er)
click the same drop down box and select calendar settings - change the title etc.
when you see the embed code - dont copy it yet...
back to the crazy pixel issue - instead click the link that sez (erf) customise the colour size and other options..
step 6: har har adjust settings to 400 pixels (not 800 cos that was too big and wouldnt fit the our blogsono)
and any other settings...
kinaesthesia
and then the final step is to copy the embed code (its automatically/ magically been updated wow - yep yep yep...) and paste it as a new post in my blog.
La la la
Thomas should see this - he would be so proud of his MUM!!





waaah more crazy thingos and now my calendar is in portuguese - an innovative way of learning a language... sort of embedded learning if you think about it
