One idea for making a web site...

As one of the people who'll be helping some participants with this project, I thought I'd better make sure I can practise what I preach!

One of the tools is, of course, Blogger which these pages have been published with. There are lots of options within this tool itself and it can just be used to make something like a web site. To illustrate this, I have just put a sample together in about 10 minutes which you can see at this link. Unlike lots of traditional web site tools, as well as making something like this, you can edit and update it too without needing specialist help or software.

It includes a form too on the Contact page which uses Google Forms. How to do that bit isn't quite as obvious as the text and pictures so I will be adding some notes on that site in a while for anyone that wants to experiment.

I'm also making examples using the same content with some other tools and hope to add links to the results for those too later today.

Hi
Looked through the list of resources and initially didn't know where to start so had a quick look at each.  I have decided to allocate particular resources to members of staff based on the courses they deliver to trial and give me feedback which I will blog.  Job Match to Employability and Personal Development.  Go Animate to IQT. Quizlet to Functional Skills Maths. I have yet to decide what to try.

How to make a post or comment

Don't forget that you need to tell your adviser (Vic, Punam or me) your Google account log-in e-mail so that we can set you up as contributor (or whoever will be doing the updates).

Once that's done then you'll be able to sign in, make a New Post or comment on others. To add a comment, either click on a post title or Comments (or No comments if you're the first) at the bottom of an entry.

The pencil icon will only appear on your posts. This allow you to edit what you've written or even delete it!

Because a Google account enables sharing across a wide range of spaces you may see suggestions that your entries can be shared on your Google+ profile or elsewhere. You can do so if you wish but it's not necessary for the Toolbox project so cancelling those 'Share' options is OK too.

There are helpful notes for setting up an account on the How to use this blog page or if you get stuck e-mail me and I'll try to help.

Welcome to the toolbox projects for the third sector

Dear Colleagues

I am looking forward to working with my two projects Appleby Heritage and Open Door and supporting you with the trial of the resources.

Thanks
Punam
