I just started the Moodle Quicktech Class taught by Bud Hunt. Linda Pedraza is also taking the class (Linda, I'm anxious to hear how you think you might use Moodle).The description for the class reads:
Moodle is a free online course management software package that allows anyone to build course materials to make available to students. Discussions, web pages, assignments, handouts, wikis and quizzes are just some of the many tools available.
I think that we may have lots of applications, in the library, for this tool. A few possibilities that come to mind are:
- help teachers to set up class pages
- pathfinders for specific class topic research
- a research skills course
- a library "website" that is fairly simple to create and maintain
- Pages for each group (Teacher Librarians, Media Clerks, Media Techs) for collaboration purposes, calendars and events, common projects, etc.)
Anyway, I think that this is another 'cool tool' for us to use. When you have some time, take a look at the site. We may use Moodle for our PST class page. It is easy to sign up, you can access it from home, and there are lots of examples and ways to use it if you go to the Moodle site. I'm sure that there will another Quicktech Moodle class for you to take. I'll keep you posted!

I just took the Social Networking class taught by Bud Hunt. Let me tell you it was worth the time! If you haven't logged in to Quicktech to view the classes, do so. There's a world of Moodle, Wikis, Nings, Twitters, Blogs, and much more that awaits you! Remember, it's important as educators to be able to SPEAK their language!
