1. What is your experience with teaching with the new site?
- How are you using the new site in your instruction? As we learn and
teach with the new website, lets share some of what is working and not
working. Please share your comments via this blog (click on the comment feature at the top). The IL Collaborative and Instruction Coordinator are planning on hosting a forum to share these in mid-October.
- If you are demoing the personalization features and login with your information--you will also get the Drupal black bar at the top of the page which might make it difficult to demonstrate. If you want another log in, feel free to use: libteach/Goldy7gopher. You won't see any books or recommendations but you won't get the black bar at the top either.
- If you are trying to describe something or want to direct a student to a particular tab...you can...use the #name of tab (you can hover over tabs and "right click>copy link location"
