Apr 23, 2010 | Upload Size Limit Increased

I have recently received requests to upload files larger than our existing limit of 10mb. I am glad to share that this morning we increased that limit up to 25mb per file for resource uploads. This should allow users to upload even larger files, especially Power Point files with lots of graphics. Don't forget our Resource Help page that has more information about uploading, what is permissible, and allowed file types: http://www.wiki-teacher.com/resourceHelp.php

Mar 15, 2010 | New Footer for Wiki-Teacher

I am excited to release today a newly redesigned footer for Wiki-Teacher. Although this isn't a large change, I think it will help users quickly and easily get around the site and access resources. This is one more way that we are striving each day to make Wiki-Teacher a better resource for educators. If you have any thoughts about the footer redesign, or ideas of how we can further improve the site, please share in the comments section below.

Mar 4, 2010 | New Login Procedure When Viewing Resources

I am excited to share that a project I have been working on for a while that finally went live today. In the past, when users have followed a link to a resource (e.g., lesson plan, unit plan, demonstration video) from an email, Facebook, or our newsletter, they were first presented with a very plain/dull login page. This login page said nothing about the resource you were trying to access and led to some confusion. In addition, this completely walled off our content from being found on search engines like Google.

Today we made subtle new change to this process. Now, when a user follows a link from a newsletter, email, or Facebook, they are taken to a special login page that has the title of the resource and a quick preview. I think this will make the process much more clear for users, and this has the added bonus of allowing search engine bots like Google to crawl those pages. This is just another example of the little improvements we are always making to the site to continually improve it for you!
