I've used Moodle for a year, now. Last year I simply had a long list of resources by units. This year I'm trying to organize it better, based on the fact I've now taken three Moodle classes myself. I've seen a lot of what to do and what not to do (mainly, link and activity overload in the 'what not to do' category). The organization is the single-most frustrating thing for me to wrap my head around. I can't figure out how to differentiate between my flex kids and my in class kids--how to give assignment directions, etc. After a month of school and prepping my course in August, I am just giving myself permission to let it develop more organically. I will try a lesson (I like those a LOT) and keep with what I have--it will all work out as I learn and get some feedback from the kids' expediences. I'm not sure how to link to my Moodle, so I've included a video here (link).
I have an online presence for my ELA 11 (see above) and Yearbook. However, I didn't have anything for my AP Language and Comp class--and one of the main reasons I've taken 21 Things is because I knew it would force me to do projects and I needed a "face" for my AP kids and parents. I want to create a website because I've used Moodle and wanted to try something different. So this is the beginning--to be updated as I go! I'll post the agenda, handouts and resources, helpful links, etc.(link).
