EduBlogging Research Poll

Karenne Sylvester is currently researching EduBlogging and is looking for your help!

Karenne is looking for volunteers who will help out with "answering quick (usually under a minute, sometimes up to 5 minutes) polls on some of the questions" which arise regarding Edublogging, such as "who we are and what we're doing in our classrooms and with colleagues".

If you have the time and want to help out just fill in the application form.

Once Karenne has collected significant data she will convert "the graphs and charts into higher resolution slides and load these all up into wikimedia commons so that you too can use them in whatever way you wish!"

Has to be good for everyone!!!

On-Site Interactivity with Blist

Blist is an "online database that is visual and intuitive" allowing you to organize different types of information.

With Blist you can make and share simple to-do lists or complicated CRM solutions. You can import/export your data, use templates and copy/modify shared blists.

Blist have just recently added the form and grid widgets, which allow you to easily embed your Blist in your blog or website. This enables you to collect information and share your results with others – even if they do not have a Blist account.

The Blist widgets are great for providing immediate feedback and added interactivity - your site visitors can search and sort the data within the grid widget. Data can be added through the form widget or directly into the grid widget.

Try it out for yourself on this little example:
NB: For some reason sometimes the grid widget does not behave properly - it appears and then disappears leaving a blank white space! The results can be seen at Sample Blist.
