Lesson 9: Tutorial on Mango


I have hopes for this tutorial.  One is to make it available to all the foreign language and ESL teachers in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District this summer so they can play with it, then use with their students this fall.  I'm actually going to propose an inservice on it for August to the Curriculum department. This might also be something the school librarians would want to attend.

I'm going to ask if the Noel Wien librarians would like a demo, although if the wireless there doesn't work, it would be hopeless to try to do an inservice for them.  I've tried before on Thomas.Net and some other databases while I was getting my MLIS,  and it was a disaster not being able to use my computer and show things from the big screen to the group.

I don't understand about Clarify-it.com's website - will it be there forever so this can be an actual link?  It says it's free, and I've my URL, but ?

Please let me know what  you think.  Is there a way to improve?  I've tried to shorten the 25 slides, but don't know how else to make it clearer with fewer slides so it stays visual.

I have totally enjoyed this class, although it has been disappointing to not be able to read many of the participants' blogs as nothing has been posted there.  I so appreciate all the frustration "Barbie" did getting to finally try Clarify-it and introducing me to the program.  I love it!  Thank you too all you who created this class!  Hope you'll offer more!
