Moodle

Moodle or Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (lets stick with Moodle), is a website that helps educators create online courses that focus on collaborative and interactive content. This is a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)  that allows teachers to easily create dynamic web sites for their students. Used in education, training and development, and utilized by many businesses, this site is a great and easy way to incorporate technology in the classroom, or rather move the classroom online.

Using Moodle a teacher can create a course with content that includes:

·      Activities, such as word games

·      Resource lists

·      Quizzes and tests (multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false, etc…)

·      Graphs

·      Authentication methods (such as requiring usernames and passwords)

·      Content filters

·      Forums for discussion

Moodle is growing in popularity, mainly because it is easy to use. The site often offers seminars, hosts forums and discussion boards, and has many instructional videos and demonstrations to help you make the most of Moodle. 

Instead of carrying a bunch of worksheets around in a Kaboodle, think about expanding your noodle, search around on Google, and start utilizing Moodle!
