Re: [ED-TECH] Ed-Tech is moving to a Yammer group

Hi Bill

 

I would love to join the Learning Design group but I have a umiami account and not a miami.edu account.  Do you know how I can be added to the Miami group instead of the umiami?

 

Andrea

Subject: [ED-TECH] Ed-Tech is moving to a Yammer group

 

I am shutting down the Ed-Tech mailing list and moving to a Yammer group. If you have an @miami.edu email address, please join the Yammer group if you want to continue to get and discuss educational technology information. You can continue to receive messages via email, if you so choose. (If you are not part of the UM email system, you will not be able to join this group.)

To join the Yammer group, please follow these simple steps.

GETTING STARTED

1. Go to Yammer.com and create an account, using your @miami.edu (or @bus.miami.edu) email address.

2. Once you have created the account and logged in, join the "ed-tech (public)" group. (Details below, if you can't see how to do it immediately.)

3. If you want to follow the group via email, so you don't have to login to Yammer to see if there is anything new, enter the group and click on the "Subscribe to this group by email" check box in the right hand column.

I don't remember exactly what happens when you create a new account. I think you get to join groups automatically. If not, you should be able to join the ed-tech group by following these steps.

JOIN THE ED-TECH GROUP

1. Click on the "Groups" link in the menu bar on the left of the Yammer page.

 

2. If the group does not appear in the list of "Groups that may interest you," click on the "View more groups" link at the bottom of the selection box.

3. Click on the "All Groups" tab on the next page that appears.

4. Find the "ed-tech (public)" group and click on the "+ Join" button to the right of the name.

The ed-tech group is public, so anyone with a Yammer account in our network (@miami.edu) can join it. Many of the groups listed a private groups. They have a padlock after their names and, if you click on the "+ Join" button a request will be sent to the administrator of the group for approval. 

You are able to join any of the public (no padlock) groups. I recommend the "Learning Design" group if you are interested in improving your teaching or designing on-line materials for your students.

[ED-TECH] Join Yammer "Learning Design Community," not "ed-tech (open)"

In thinking about the miami.edu Yammer groups that already exist, we decided that it would be better for the ed-tech list members to just join the Learning Design Community group, rather than creating a separate ed-tech group.

If join the ed-tech group, I will move you to the Learning Design Community group and then remove you from the ed-tech group. I have admin rights to both.

If you have not yet joined the ed-tech group, please join the Learning Design Community group instead.
