Faith, I teach a second grade class in the panhandle of Florida. Have you found anyone to Skype with through Classroom 2.0? We wanted to Skype with a classroom from Africa (We are learning continents as well) but I have not found an elementary class.

How do you create RSS streams on IGoogle page? When I can't keep up with my Twitter tweets, I check a few specific lists and specific hashtags. I also love to periodically check through the forums on this and Educator's PLN ning. I've…

I have just been checking our Moodle forum for new students. I think it's one of my favourite uses of Moodle. The students who are new to the school in September have been using various 'get to know the school' activities and asking…

Faith I teach in a UK secondary school - they all use Moodle - that's from our youngest at age 11 through to the sixth form at age 18. Whilst it is possible to set up a Wiki within Moodle I prefer Wikispaces for its features. My primary uses…

Faith - I help teachers in schools with pupils aged from 4 to 11 and the youngest children I have seen using Moodle are aged 4 to 5. They use it for improving co-ordination using a mouse by clicking to go to websites or by playing on games that are…

Thanx Colleen. What is the youngest grade you would use Moodle with? How did you use the class wiki? Was it for resources or student work? Thanx for you help. Faith

I know exactly what you mean - I also love learning and discovering new tools and my students really liked our class wiki this year because they felt far more ownership of that than Moodle. However I do think each has its place and I have a Moodle…

Thanx, Mr. Furman, Those were my thoughts too. I just wanted to check that I was being open-minded and not just pesonally prejudice against a program that possibly had more potential than I was seeing. I love the challenge of learning and…

Faith, I'm not in an elementary school, but I've long had difficulty in shifting gears from an open web to a closed web. I think Moodle is ingenious, but give me a blog/edmodo combo any day. Also, I just spent the better part of an…

Moodle in Elementary School?

Hi, What are the advantages and disadvantages of Moodle? What grade levels, subjects work best with it? Our school uses it, but I'm so engaged in Web2.0 tools that I find Moodle very stifling and restricted? Am I wrong? Could someone tell me if I'm not being open-minded enough? Thank you so much!FaithSee More

I too use TuxPaint. I find it comperable to KidPix with a lot of good gadgets that make it fun for the kids to use. I've also tried Kerpoof. I liked it better in its original format.

About Me
I passionately teach k-4 computers in a small dayschool in Chicago. I love integrating Web2.0 in meaningful ways. I've used blogs, wikis, Voicethread, Animoto, Photopeach, and love to try out new applications.

Hi Faith,
Nice to hear from you. As you probably remember my wife Leah - Linda is from Chicago.
As for wikispaces. I am a total ignoramus about macs.
As for PC's with Windows make sure the Windows is Hebrew enabled. Follow instructions on one of the following sites:
http://www.jtsa.edu/Documents/pagedocs/instructtech/hebrew_howto.pdf
or
http://www.petri.co.il/install_hebrew_on_windows_xp.htm
Then when you edit the wikispace page, make sure you ar in Hebrew mode (Alt+Shift) and write.
In order to have the writing appear Righ to Left, you must add above and below the Hebrew writing the following tags on the wikipage.

[[rt]]

מה שבאמצע יוצמד לימין.
What is written between these tags will be right aligned.

[[rtl]]

If you need any more help write me at reuw@nevnet (dot) etzion (dot) k12 (dot) il
or skype me at reuven100.

Akiva & his family are fine B"H.
Kol Tuv,
Reuven

Hi Faith,

With your work in Technology Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
