 Weblogg-ed » Moodle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
It was the last day of an 8-day intensive planning session, and they were probably more tuned into the “closing ceremonies” to be held at a neighborhood restaurant in the afternoon than on listening to me, but I was extremely impressed by their attention, their questions and their thinking.
And their thinking was all over the place…on a Moodle site where they have been capturing all of their work, on newsprint post-its all over the walls of the planning room, in their conversation.
What we will be doing this Fall is creating a Moodle course for each of our students to use to create their eportfolio.
