Trouble in Free for Teacher...
Tl;dr Some people are abusing public courses and we need to stop that. One of my favorite things about Canvas, when I discovered it back in 2011, was and is Free-for-Teacher (FFT went live back in 2010).

WHat's the status of things?
I'm taking BlendKit2017 on Canvas ... and hoping to use some of the stuff I'm playing with here, there (tho' it's with my "parkland college" identity b/c I know I'll still have a job for the next five weeks). I'm also wondering why, in the reworking of the "community," I don't seem to be following anybody any more. I'm…

I've embedded!
I found iFraming in Canvas and used it to embed a game from the NCTM illuminations math exercises into my little course. I'll also provide a link so that students can go there. I'll want to make some quizzes that do the equivalent, but it's a neat option and worked quickly and easily. Hooray…
