Could we add a picture in here instead of a video?

I have drafted some ideas: What do you think about a video introduction from each of us? Either on the front page or in each of our activities? We could do this using our mobile phones then link it into the website home page? HI Gaelyn ummm for me I would have to say nope- I hate appearing in videos with a passion I thought that this wouldnt be too good idea, but it is a good use of mobility stuff how would you feel about a photo? Nice to personalise it? I don't need this anymore as an example of the mobility thing......? Nick - is it possible to password activities in weebly? E.g. do this thing first, then you will receive a password to go onto the next activity. I am quite keen to get them using their mobiles as learning tools....e.g. texting an answer to me/us and then sending them the password to continue? OR actually they could just accumulate a series of answers that contribute to their final discussion....hmmmm Maggie has okayed it for the students to text me directly for this exercise

e.g. All of these tasks are compulsory? please ask questions if you don't understand anything... Depending on what we all think of the overall load once we have finished designing our activities Expectations are clear - post a response to give others time to respond, respond to at least two other people..... Just wondering shall we guide them here to a wrap up summary which will occur on the last night? Oh and I loooove your word cloud thingy below it looks great! Thanks! We can adjust the colours depending on the end design of our website....
