Moodle
Have any of you used Moodle? What do you think of it? What do you like about it? Please share your comments; I am thinking about using it, but I would like some more information from users first.

I Don’t Get What’s Wrong with Asking for PD
Every year during ISTE, a version of this tweet makes the rounds. It gets a lot of favorites and retweets. Students Don’t Ask for PD. #ISTE2014 pic.twitter.com/43oG7DzmO8 “” Sean Junkins (@sjunkins) June 28, 2014 I totally understand the spirit of the tweet.

The Power of a Positive First Impression
I e-mailed my adviser at Virginia Tech with a question about registration. She wrote back in what I thought was an unnecessarily irritable way because I had used the wrong e-mail address to contact her, and because she was upset about that one detail, the tone of her whole reply made me feel as though…
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble
Using an idea from Chris Renino in Shakespeare Set Free and Chris Shamburg, my students created a radio play of Macbeth 4.1, in which the witches prepare the “hell broth.” Take a listen: Download Macbeth 4.1 Nuts and bolts: We used GarageBand on my Mac. One of my students knew how to produce the echo…
Great Gatsby Scavenger Hunt
This morning when I arrived at school, our receptionist, who is currently getting her degree in English Education, told me that her class had to do presentations on teaching one of two novels. I can’t remember the title of one, but the other was The Great Gatsby. She dug in her bag and pulled out…
Digital Learning Day at the Worcester Academy Library
Digital Learning Day was February 6. How did your school raise awareness for digital learning? Worcester Academy’s library chose to showcase QR codes. We commissioned a display project from art students. We were thrilled to discover the QR code they created actually scans! Library staff researched media such as e-books, podcasts, videos, and websites that…
Blogs and Wikis in the Classroom
Next November, I will be presenting a session on using blogs and wikis in the classroom at the annual GISA conference. I will fully admit that I’m no expert, though I’m the only teacher at my school currently doing anything with blogs or wikis. It made me think perhaps not too many Georgia teachers know…

We have used moodle at our school to build a learning community for the English Faculty. It is a place for students to access resources, notes, homework, videos and revision materials. For staff there is course documentation, PD material etc posted there. We have used the wiki facility – they are basic but junior students enjoyed creating them.
There are lots of resources (guides, fourums, etc) available at http://moodle.org, documentation at http://docs.moodle.org
Use it. Love it. Administer it. You should definitely give it a spin – let me know if you need help getting around or thinking through it.
Yep, I am in the process of piloting and hope to expand Moodle beyond my classroom. . . I love it, but need to convince others of its usability / functionality / educational opportnity.
Our school uses Moodle and it seems to work very well. We need to have more classes to teach teachers how to use it effectively though. I haven't used it enough because I don't know enough about it. I'm in the process of taking a class to learn more about it.
I started using it today with my 5th and 3rd graders. 4th grade has swimming this week and next, so I'll start them when I get them back.
I like it and the students like it so far.
5th grade had a hot potato quiz about energy sources to do this week. 3rd grade picked an activity and IM'ed me their choice.
It will be slow going because I only have the students 1 day out of 6 for 45 min.
