I have spent the last week looking at a number of Web 2.0 tools that I could incorporate into my teaching practice. I've tweeted, blogged, added bookmarks and shared bookmarks with Diggo, entered course work into forums using Moodle, and researched using Moodle in the courses I teach in the Media Center. A fellow online student graciously let me use a guest account to log on to her Moodle course so that I could see what it was like, and I also logged on to the demos on the Moodle site.
I found it easy to use as a student, and not that difficult to set up as an instructor. Obviously, it takes quite a bit of up front work to bring the class online, but all in all it is a tool that I would be happy to use here at school.
I have some ideas that I plan to present to my administrator, and will show her examples of schools and classes that are already using Moodle.
Wish me luck as I attempt to bring more collaboration to our school.
