Moodle in the Classroom

[Chickennoodlesoap1]

@MrEizzy

Xbox Owns, Btw, But what does that have to do with Moodle?

[MrEpizzy]

PS3 is better than x-box and wii is for little girls (like u)

[MrEpizzy]

school is gay and sucks balls

[MrEpizzy]

GAYYY

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

I hate moodle

[gulfland]

She uses the verb " to want " in the progressive tens> I woner why ? Could any one tell, please?

[robotgrass]

moodle sucks, unless all your students have signed up for moodle, you cannot assure that a mass e-mail message will be received, instead, you will get a moodel generated error message. Also, moodle keeps no history of messages sent.... so its back to basics my friends, upload your course material on your schools' shared drive, and get hand written e-mail addresses of all yr students.

[PatriciaSdeLopez]

@robotgrass Excuse me if my inexperience shows in my question. My experience is limited to XAMPP alone on my local drive.

QUESTION: Would it be possible to overcome the problem of having no record of sent messages by sending a carbon copy (cc) to yourself? Does Moodle allow it?

[corinthians167]

If you need help about Moodle, i created a teacher's manual and student manual that is useful in using the moodle. contact me! it's free!

[excitedneuron]

Does your school district host Moodle? My school does not, so I am having a hard time even getting started.

[thetechall]

@excitedneuron if this is the case, then i am sure your school itself will happily spend 10-20$ a month on website hosting

[excitedneuron]

@thetechall Do you have any suggestions for web site hosts? I've never paid for one before.

[thetechall]

@excitedneuron well, i would recommend using hostgator (just google them) it is fairly quick set-up although they do require you to provide proof of ID (if that didn't make sence then basicly they will call and ask did you purchase this item etc. or will ask for a scanned image of a passport or some form of identification ) if you need any help setting up moodle then just private message me (i do however live in the UK so that might cause complications)

[thetechall]

@excitedneuron just google hostgator, it is a good bet for you. before you do so though, have a talk to your district and see if they will host it

Moodle is not enough? Combine moodle with OpenMeetings, the Web-Conferencing software that turns moodle into a multifaceted, highly productive and more interesting e-learning platform. Check out the OpenMeetings channel for more information!

[Sk8onURown]

i absolutely... HATE... moodle. my geography teacher is so dependent on it.

[excitedneuron]

@Sk8onURown Can you be more specific? What do you hate about it? This would be good feedback for teachers.

[kpatton]

Great Video! I use moodle in my middle school classroom and find it great! Question - What video editing software did you use? I love the transitions.

Thanks

[softwareScout]

@kpatton I bet they used Camtasia to make the video. There's also a free version called CamStudio

[stevenputt]

@kpatton Used Final Cut Pro to edit, shot on Sony DV. Transitions are form Digital Juice.

[PatriciaSdeLopez]

@stevenputt Thanks for this excellent video.

With regards to making presentations in Moodle. Is it possible to use PowerPoint presentations within Moodle? Would students be able to stop and start the PowerPoint presentation at mid point? Is this where SCORM comes in? ... and would SCORM make PowerPoint work in a certain 'moodle-ized' way (whatever that might be)?

If PowerPoint does not work, will Final Cut or iMovie videos serve as a viable alternative?

Thanks!

[06sschulte]

@PatriciaSdeLopez - You would make whatever presentation you want, and then upload it onto Moodle, so PowerPoint would be fine.

[PAKISRULEZ]

awesome emo type hair style loved it :D n cute too v nice vid

[share5342]

Moddle is going to rule the world one day bc it SUCKS i hate i have to use itt everyday and it SUCKS

[stevenputt]

[pepsichips1]

Steven,

Would you mind if I use this video for intro. course? I am teaching teachers the use of Moodle online. I could use the video as a teacher testimonial. I will cite source and give credit. Course will not be hosted so you won't have to worry about copyright laws.

[nomusician]

Can I use Moodle online without actually installing software?

[xBLACKLOVA]

OMG MISS TIPTON!!! U...LOL!!!!!!

[YukiUzumaki78]

@xBLACKLOVA Whaaa?! You know her?! She's my social studies teacher!!! She lost so much weight.

[CallOfDoodyMW2]

MOODLE SUCKS! WE WANT BLACKBOARD BACK

[iKoigokoro]

...Mrs. Tipton?! You're an awesome teacher! Even though I don't like social studies. You did tell us about this video in class. And I did get a lot of Zack and Cody stuff. ^^

[o8josh8o]

moodle is gay we have it at our school andi hate it

[excitedneuron]

@o8josh8o Be specific. Why do you hate it?

[poulingail]

I want to get this girl a barrette for the hair covering half her face. It's torturing my ADD. Can't listen without huge distraction. (.... I will not watch, just listen...)

As far as Moodle goes, how would you use it in early childhood classes pre-k to gr 2?

[devdief614]

i dont have ADD and it's bothering me lol

[iowoyemi]

Great content. Excellent video production. Love moodle.

[iowoyemi]

Great video production. Very professional. Good content. Love moodle.

[DirkSchooner]

The student comment on here really tell the true story. In theory Moodle is a great idea, the usability and presentation of content is absolutely awful and puts most normal people off with their first look at it. This is important, and should not be overlooked when gushing about the technology, if it's not usable, it's pointless.

back end - good. front end - bad

[electroninstructor]

I have been using Moodle for over 6 years. It has made my life as a teacher much better because it gives me a structure for all my class materials. I highly recommend it. Be sure to get a good host for running it, unless you are really good at running complex websites yourself.

[excitedneuron]

@electroninstructor What hosts do you recommend?

[thetechall]

@excitedneuron in addition to the comment i just added, doesn't your school currently have a website? if so then you can install moodle onto your schools website. i am sure your IT guy can help you with that

[WezeraFairy]

i go to that school and im not in the 8th grade (7th) but i hear she is a really good teacher because of that

[raccoon121]

My teacher does this and it annoys the hell out of us. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR POOR STUDENTS.

[aaronshaf]

I want to detoxify every time I look at Moodle's unsightly interface

[ap8193]

agree 100%

[junior2173]

Could you explain why you don't like it? Isn't it better than those old book assignments and paper tests?

[rc232]

its so hackable its not even funny

[vrsansebastian]

Congratulations, clear and informative video

[KIFulgore]

Moodle is ok, but the advanced options such as importing quizzes with images and grading in general are so broken it's easier for me to just use it as an upload/download dump in my classes.

[profandredf]

Muito bom!

Também realizo experiência semelhante com o Moodle!

Realmente ele é fantástico!

[sabrina07080236]

Great! Thanks for your intro.

I also using moodle. I used Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional to create course and then upload to moodle.

[idlefritz]

Clear and informative. This is one of the few Moodle instructional videos that focuses (well) on the casual user. Nice job.

[danez1972]

Pretty Neat job, Thank You, and by the way I love your voice... don't care.

[bronwencampbell]

Very helpful

[djPalikA]

yes her voice is sjit

[woodrackets]

Good intro to Moodle. Thanx.

But please bag that irritating valley girl accent. Can't believe a teacher would talk like that.

[iKoigokoro]

@woodrackets

Don't talk about my teacher like that! You don't know her. She's the best.

[m2aslam]

Well done
