Moodle

I was very anxious to check out Moodle and I'm thankful that it was one of our class assignments. I know a lot of teachers use it in our district and I didn't know much (if anything) about it. At first, I was very frustrated with the set-up. I couldn't even figure out how to change my theme!! Arggh! Whenever I Googled instructions I was given information that must have applied to a different version of Moodle (????). But FINALLY I discovered the Moodle Docs located at the bottom of each page and then things went much smoother!

I'm really amazed at how many features there are in Moodle: chat, forums, assignments, surveys, wikis...I can see how a teacher would find it very useful! I had a little difficulty linking to files (not sure why) but I'm sure, with more practice, that will work itself out too. I signed up for an account in Moodle and I think I'm going to set-up another course over the summer - one that I can hopefully use in the future when I become a School Librarian! I initially set up a course (of sorts) in PBworks but I think I like Moodle better.

Thank goodness the semester is over! I'm ready for a little break! And.....I have lots of projects to do around the house to keep me busy until my summer courses begin.
