Isn't it great!? I'm going to have access to Moodle in my classroom in the fall. I'm anxious to start because I"ve just about used my Wiki to death! :-) Ready for the next level! I, have a class set of laptops (netbooks) and am in the process of b...
Thanks! Mark. I'll check it out in the next couple of weeks. At the moment, I'm gearing up for a week with Discovery Education in the Marin Headlands as well as going back to teaching 8th grade U.S. History after spending 7 years as an instruction...

At school I'm called by my middle name- Marie. In June I retired, but will be back part time, but not in my own classroom.

Isn't it great!? I'm going to have access to Moodle in my classroom in the fall. I'm anxious to start because I"ve just about used my Wiki to death! :-) Ready for the next level! I, have a class set of laptops (netbooks) and am in the process of building a collaborative classroom with teachers in 5 other states. We've already been Skyping and Etherpad"ing" . . . anxious to take it to the next level. Hope to be back at CUE in 2010!
Thanks! Mark. I'll check it out in the next couple of weeks. At the moment, I'm gearing up for a week with Discovery Education in the Marin Headlands as well as going back to teaching 8th grade U.S. History after spending 7 years as an instructional technology coach. It's going to be a blast doing all the things I've been teaching others to do. This includes using a SMART Airliner.

Great Input. The solution I've built for my school is NOT free, but is significantly more advanced with user customizable web pages, groups, forums, blogs, messaging, pictures, mp3, video, document creation with zoho apps, onsite data storage, and a calendar to stay on schedule.
So much more, but then it turns into a sales pitch which probably isn't appropriate here :)
Hi Mark,
Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions! I have already joined one of the sites you mentioned (Wizig -- what a cool and totally fabulous site!). I intend to continue to look into the other site you suggested shortly, and I look forward to seeing the video you suggested as well. Thanks again.
Thank you so much. That will help a lot. As you can tell I am just starting to put it all together. I got out of practice for a while and with good people like you I will have it back in no time. Thank you again.
