Anne Fox :: Blog :: Only in Scandinavia

March 21, 2006

 I have been using Elgg for some months and suddenly realised I had never tried to insert a picture before. Now I have cracked it but I think that the Yahoo 360 blog option is the easiest way of doing it (as long as you always want the picture to appear at the top of your post). However this picture is too long and I don't know how to adjust this.

This picture is the one I used to trigger thoughts on unique aspects of different cultures. I judge this picture to be typically Scandinavian and the challenge for the assembled teachers in our inter-cultural course held in León, Spain last week was to think of similar representative images for their own culture. The interesting part comes afterwards when analysing why the picture is unique.

 

Only in Scandinavia

 The project is Teaching Culture!, a Grundtvig EU project in which we are developing a course to increase the cultural awareness of teachers of adults in their everyday practice.

Added 25/3/06: Although I can see the picture in its distorted form, it appears that not everybody can. I don't understand why. But this is obviously not the way to  go.

Keywords: EU, Grundtvig, intercultural, picture posting, Teaching Culture!

  1. Hi Anne, I'm afraid I can't see the image! It doesn't display in my browser or in my RSS reader.

  2. Thanks for the feedback, Eric. It is perhaps no loss as the image is distorted. I have now re-posted through Flickr and am not very happy that this is the way to do it. I have mastered it now of course but I can just imagine the reactions of my students, or even worse, teachers on training courses, if I try to explain that this is the way to do it.
