Moodle

I think that Moodle is an excellent tool for educators. At this point I can say that I understand how to use it, and it allows me to reach learners in a new way that I have never used before. The first thing that I love about Moodle is that it is free. Yes I said free! Not only is it free, but it is useful. Sometimes free stuff has limited capability, but not Moodle. You can do so much. It is pretty easy as well. At first it was not easy, I mean I figured it out, but overall, it is not hard to use once you know what you are doing.

It is so nice being able to have things organized for your learners. It was easy to post videos, quizzes, surveys, feedback pages as well as word documents. That is really important because it saves time and energy for everyone.

I cannot think of anthing that I do not like about Moodle. The only negative thing that I can think of has nothing to do with Moodle, it has to do with the fact that some schools are not up to par with their technology. That will limit some of the teachers with what they are able to do with the students and how they can use Moodle. Not having connectivity and not having access, would limit the useage. Other than that, I think the possibilites are endless.

I enjoyed using Moodle. I can't wait to use it in my school in the upcoming school year. I have so many ideas!!!!!

  1. I agree with everything you said. The only problem that I have with it is that it only allows you to upload a file that's 2MB. That's a pretty small amount for a file. Other than that, I liked learning how to use it!
