surprise it works!

I met with you know who yesterday and one of the things we talked about was the use of icons. She was "blown away" (her words!) by the fact that using our personal file area to store images worked! She couldn't believe that students would be able to see it and was (a bit smugly) going to show me that they couldn't see any of the icons I had added by giving me a test student again. But, oh my, the icons DID show up for students.

She told me repeatedly that I should put them in my LOR or add them to the file for each individual class. I asked her how we could navigate to the LOR from the "icon URL" browse option. That didn't seem to be possible. So she showed me how to use the LOR to use icons and I asked why anyone would do that when the other way works and is MUCH easier. She kept saying she couldn't believe it worked because that area is supposed to be similar to our "W" drives and only accessible by the individual instructor. I asked then why would the browse option direct you to that area?

To be fair she did help me reduce the size of one icon that was life size previously. Her son Luke was there and I think he was working on HCC classes. He asked a question and the conversation sounded like (but remember I can't hear) she was giving him directions to input class data! I didn't address that but I am not thrilled about a child having ANY thing to do with our classes.

Over all I think I gave her more information than she gave me. She answered some questions but her methodology was so convoluted I am not sure I could repeat it if I wanted to.
