As I discussed in my last post, this week I learned about Toonti the social community maker. Social communities can spawn collaborative learning which leads to the development of critical thinking skills, the synergistic creation of knowledge and meaning and trans-formative learning.
In last post we had just learned how to personalize the Rhythm-n-Rime community site. Now, We move on to personalizing the design of the site. There is a design wizard which helps to create the preferred color scheme of the community. We chose to use black, white and purple to help accentuate our site. The wizard asks if you would like pictures or a prepare web banner uploaded during this process as well. The site is cosmetically set up and ready for the fun to begin.
Next, we set up all of the admin controls in the admin console. This helps to manage our site efficiently. We set the content control to allow submissions of events, journals, photo albums, journals and suggestions by members in the community. The privacy settings are set to allow all members only to see and participate. Within the console, Google analytics can be set up and followed. The old polls taken are available to be viewed and a place to upload a newsletter is available.
The community is ready to be utilized for facilitating collaborative learning. Below is the newly created Rhythm-n-Rime social community.
