Welcome to the Wonderful World of Wimba! (Part Two)

In last week's post, I introduced you to the new Wimba Collaboration Suite that our district has just added to our Blackboard Learning System. As you learned then, the Wimba Collaboration Suite consists of four of the latest and most dynamic collaboration and communication tools available to today's online learners. We are so excited to be able to provide this suite for our Clay County Bb users!

This post will be about Wimba Create, which is another outstanding tool from the Wimba Collaboration Suite. Wimba Create was formerly known as Course Genie, and it is defined as an add-on for Microsoft Word. By using Wimba Create, you can convert your existing Word documents into styled web pages. This can be done very easily, and the great thing is that you don't even have to understand HTML or know how to design web pages. Please listen to my new podcast called "Wonderful World of Wimba - Episode Two" to learn more about Wimba Create!

Don't forget to use the comments below to post a comment to my blog. If you are interested in the upcoming training that Bill Ralls and I will be holding on any of the Wimba Collaboration Suite tools, please let me know by either emailing me at rpaine@mail.clay.k12.fl.us or leaving me a comment here on my blog.

I look forward to hearing from you!
