The plan is an ongoing document that will undergo nearly constant revision as the education technology landscape changes.  I will keep a PDF copy here.

For example, a “cookbook wiki” would be a website where you could easily add your own recipes, edit existing recipes, and help organize the recipes using categories. You’d do all of this with simple markup called wiki syntax (we’ll get to that shortly). Together you and the community would maintain this online recipe collection to help bring more deliciousness to everyone’s meals. For how-to information on the HallDale website WIki, please see: http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/wiki/getting_started.html#organize You can do a lot more with Wiki Syntax, please see the Wiki Syntax section for details. http://expressionengine.com/docs/general/pmcode.html 2007-05-01T18:55:01-05:00 http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/how_to_publish_to_expression_engine/ http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/how_to_publish_to_expression_engine/#When:14:38:00Z Expression Engine is the Content Mangement System used for the Hall-Dale website, forums, and blogs. It features an easy to use authoring environment, while providing powerful and flexible site administration. Most users of Expression Engine will be posting articles and possibly moderating comments. The following is a description of the basic authoring environment for submitting, editing and deleting your articles: How_to_publish_to_EE.pdf 2007-02-13T14:38:00-05:00 http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/what_is_a_rss_feed_and_what_does_it_do_for_me/ http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/what_is_a_rss_feed_and_what_does_it_do_for_me/#When:19:12:00Z RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts. Users of RSS content use programs called feed ‘readers’ or ‘aggregators’: the user ‘subscribes’ to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user’s subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user. RSS readers are available as standalone applications, or they may be built into a web browser like Safari. By clicking on the RSS feed link near the bottom of these pages, the RSS feed is displayed within Safari. You can then bookmark that feed page, and the next time you check your bookmarks you will see if there are any new articles ready for you to view. The number of new articles is displayed within the “( )” next to the bookmark. You can select the bookmark and see a quick overview of all the new artices (usually just the title and summary). If a given article is intresting to you, select it and you will be taken to the website for further reading. 2007-02-06T19:12:00-05:00 http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/i_keep_getting_this_message_that_in_need_to_enter_my_keychain_password_how/ http://www.halldale.org/index.php/site/i_keep_getting_this_message_that_in_need_to_enter_my_keychain_password_how/#When:22:02:00Z The keychain stores your frequently used passwords for various resources (like servers, websites, etc). Occasionally the keychain file can become corrupted. The easiest fix is to just delete the login.keychain file. Simply, follow this folder path:  Macintosh HD/Users/{your home folder}/Library/Keychains, and then delete the file: “login.keychain”. This file will be automatically recreated the next time it is needed. At which time you will likely get a message stating that the keychain cannot be found and asking whether to reset to the default; answer yes. The system will then ask for your login password.(the one you use when you login to your mac account) and the the keychain file will be recreated. From that point on, your keychain will be fixed, however any passwords your system had stored there would be lost and you will need to re-enter and save them to the keychain as requested.

On the menu bar select Go and then select Connect to Server. If the resource is on a Mac server, under server address type in afp://servername/foldername (example: afp://macserver/2011jsmith). A dialog box will come up and it will ask for your username and password. Select “remember password in keychain”. If you need to change your password, click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner and enter your old and new password. When you select “ok”, be sure to enter your new password in the connect to server password dialog box. Select “ok” in the “connect to server” dialog box and your network folder or resource should open up on your desktop. A tip from the “make your life easier department: Now drag your server folder (or sub-folder) to the Right-hand side of the dock. Later you can remount the server resource with a single click (espcially if you saved the password in your keychain)! When finished, you can drag the folder icon into the trash in order to close down the network resource.  Macintosh, Mac OSX, Servers 2007-01-25T21:42:01-05:00
