Moodle

I have learned many new things from this class. I am anxious to use some of these things with my students keeping in mind safety concerns (as this weeks assignment suggests).

I have already done podcasts with my students and will continue to do so. It's a wonderful tool to help with fluency (reading first people are you listening?) since students are involved with the whole process of doing podcast.

I have not yet introduced blogs or wikis to them. However, I can see using both of these tools to help with reading, writing and general communication skills. Plus it's a wonderful way to enhance the learning process for students.

For our final project, Mary & I are going to be working on a collaborative project using a wiki. We're calling it "Wikiwaukee." This will be a project that students will contribute to during our study of Milwaukee. I am excited about the possibilites for this. We will post the completed project soon.
