What a great journey the CeLDD journey has been. It has allowed me to play with all the cool things you can do on the web, in a safe environment and look at them from an educational perspective.

Frappr, Skype, Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts, RDD, Tagging, MMOG and of course, all in a Moodle envirnoment. We were even given a Moodle course to set up and create our own course.

Setting up a Moodle course for students to participate in is one thing - but having it scrutinsed by peers is quite daunting. But the feedback was good and is always welcomed.

Good to finish, now to put it all into practise..........

So here I must apologise. I have been having all the fun and not sharing my learnings as I go. I will give myself a virtual slap on the back of the hand and start blogging again. Anyone who notices I slacken off again should email, twitter or skype me another virtual slap on the back of the hand, or try some positive motivational method to get me to share what I have been and am doing.

MoodleMoots:

I have had the extreme pleasure of attending MoodleMoots in: Brisbane Australia; Napier New Zealand; Rome Italy; Barcelona Spain. I presented at two of these moots and ran one full day workshop for  teachers new to using Moodle. My presentations were based on inspiring teachers to find creative and engaging ways to use some of the Moodle tools; I focused on glossaries and databases in Moodle and we tried some activities in the presentations that might help teachers to see the possibilities with these examples. Slideshare has a copy of my presentation (setting the scene) and a sprinkling of the examples and ideas are on the elearning school site. 

I took many photos at the MoodleMoots and around the areas I travelled, so you are welcome to peruse and see snippets of the moments shared caught in still forever. They are on flickr with appropriate tags - try moodlemoot tag first off or check groups, that way you see images uploaded by lots of different people. I am half way through uploading my images (as there are hundreds) but they will all be there within the week. 

More blogging to come!
