Instructional Applications of the Internet - July 31

Today I completed work on my Moodle Course Management System. As a whole, I considered the assignment to be pretty easy and worthwhile, though a bit labor-intensive. It didn't take a high-level of thought to complete, but I probably dedicated at least 8 hours to the assignment.

I think that the assignment could be revised to be the overarching assignment of this whole course. The podcast, webquest & website that we designed could have all been elements of the Moodle Assignment. That option was available, but it may have saved the students time if that was the way that the assignment was made. Regardless, I am okay with how it worked because, again, it was easy despite the time it took.

I like Moodle and feel that I would use the software, especially in the instance that I used it here. I would not utilize it in my current 8th grade math class, but would use it if I ever became some sort of technology teacher, which I would rather like to become. It is a capable, easy-to-use tool for combining many of the different resources of the web into one place, a great thing for a CMS.
