New Beginnings

My 23 Things adventure is over but that doesn't mean that I am done exploring and learning new ways to use the Internet productively.  I have put my toes in the water and I like it.  I'm ready to dive in and start exploring the entire Internet ocean.

After my 23 Things class I participated in a Moodle workshop for teachers.  What an awesome experience, all of you WSD teachers out there should jump at the opportunity if it is offered to you.  Moodle is a means of taking your curriculum online and making your classroom available to students at home, in the library, or anywhere they have access to the Internet.  You can upload files, video, and photo's, include links to websites, allow conversations about content and even include quizzes!  Permissions are controlled by the teacher so no worries about who sees the work.  You can see everything the students do in the program but they cannot see each others work.

Cool stuff!!

Nice! You have just answered a couple of questions I had a bout using Moodle. As a 2nd year teacher they are offering it through ORCA but was not sure I would really benefit from it. Sounds like it is a great alternative to creating a blog or wiki. Thanks!
