Hi folks, it looks like Scott the Magnificent has already created us a CanvasHacks public classroom to play in, and enrolled us as teachers.

Any thoughts on structure? I have a similar course that is mostly complete that I am preparing for my faculty that I could upload to provide a bit of structure. It is intended for non-coders, and has the following module structure:

• About HTML and the HTML Editor - DO NOT FEAR THE CODE!
• Beginning Users
• Intermediate users
• Advanced users
• Sharing (sharing has a discussion and links to external resoursces

However, I am not a pushy sort, so whatever anybody else wants, I am more than happy to go along with. I can always upload stuff a piece at a time and fit it where I can.

My "lessons" are all one page, and include:

• A brief description
• The code snippet
• Anatomy of the code snippet where I identify those components that are easy to modify by novices like myself
• Instructions for use
• Troubleshooting, and
• Sometimes some obvious variations based on changes to parts of the code (colors, sizes, positions etc. - the minor stuff)

Let me know what your think!

Oh yah, and I also have a hokey Home page, because that's just the kind of guy I am:)

Great idea, Kelley.

I created a course shell in resources.instructure.com.  It looks like well over 60 people have already requested either student or teacher level access.  Those of you with teacher level access, feel free to invite your friends.  Anyone else interested, please comment to that effect.   @kmeeusen ​ and the super helpful  @Ron_Bowman ​ have been great about going in and inviting folks. 

Thanks

Scott

I apologize!  Here is my email address, esterk@wilkes.k12.nc.us   Thanks!

[kmeeusen]

It is done, and there was no need to apologize.

Welcome aboard, and you should receive your invite shortly.

Thank you for helping us achieve a milestone - you are our 400th participant. Wish I had a prize to offer you, but I guess access to all that great content will have to do!

enjoy,

Kelley,

I'm not sure this is going to work with the current login I have for Canvas.  My Canvas URL is wilkescounty.instructure.com and your invitation didn't show up in my login.  When I click on your invitation, it takes me to resources.instructure.com .  I guess I would have to create a new account.

[scottdennis]

Hi Karen,

Yes, to access this course you will need to go to the resources.instructure instance and likely create a second canvas account.  You will use the email address Kelley sent the invite to and whatever password you decide on.  This shouldn't cause any conflict with your institutional Canvas user account.

Thanks, Scott!

I was just coming in to help her, but you are faster on the draw today!

Bang! Another good cowboy shot down in his dottage:smileycry:

I would like to be added please gina.hutchens@yadkin.k12.nc.us  I think as a teacher, if I get in and don't feel as if I can contribute I will ask to be rescinded and change to student request. 

Thanks!!!

[peterakers]

Hi, can I be annoying and ask to be upgraded to teacher? I have something to contribute to the iFraming and Embedding > Google Drive section. Alternatively I'd be more than happy to PM an existing teacher and for them to add the content.
