I am so glad you are doing a follow-up session. The time went by so quickly during the first Moodle show. The links shared there have been so helpful. Looking forward to the continuing discussion this Saturday. Thanks!

Hi Surina,<br />
<br />
I ran a Moodle server within our school network for about 3 years, mostly for my curosity and use in my 6th and 7th grade tech classes. There was little interest by teachers during that time because we were not allowed to provide outside access to the Moodle server. Things have changed, and we decided to run Moodle for our Middle and Upper school, but I decided that an outside Moodle provider would be the way to go in a production environment that's open to the outside world.

Hi Surina,<br />
<br />
I ran a Moodle server within our school network for about 3 years, mostly for my curosity and use in my 6th and 7th grade tech classes. There was little interest by teachers during that time because we were not allowed to provide outside access to the Moodle server. Things have changed, and we decided to run Moodle for our Middle and Upper school, but I decided that an outside Moodle provider would be the way to go in a production environment that's open to the outside world. They can spend the time necessary to provide a more secure server and environment for your Moodle site.<br />
<br />
That said, there are places on moodle.org that can lead you through an install of a Moodle server, and, you are right, it is difficult to understand, it's more for techy/geeky people. If your setting up a sandbox to play with Moodle, this might be ok, but for production Moodle environment for your school, get your IT people involved in the actual setup, or like I said above, contract out. There are lots of other issues besides the Moodle install, like required bandwidth, sizing and securing the server, backup, etc. I miss the freedom of installing what ever modules I'd like to try and tweaking Moodle, but on the other hand, I don't miss the underlying headaches associated with running a Moodle server that's expected to be up all the time. :-) I just administer the Moodle software -- add users, create courses, etc. and I have enough other things to do in school. :-) Here are some of the things w…tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-03-26:649749:Comment:3155542009-03-26T20:11:16.786ZNancy Boschhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/nbosch
Here are some of the things we've done (gifted 3-6) with Moodle and Blackboard.<br />
1. Online courses, you can see a <a href="http://adifferentplace.org/leonardo_da_vinci.htm">unit on Leonardo D'Vinci</a> that at one time was an online class (had Bb at that time)<br />
2. Online Book discussions (look down on this <a href="http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/2007/07/where-is-all-your-stuff.html">list</a> til you find Moodle and you will see a guest username and password)<br />

3. Pose thoughtful questions and have the kids respond. I've used David White's Philosophy for Kids.<br />
4. Have students choose photos, painting, statues, etc--post them and have other kids comment.<br />
<br />
2,3,4 are easy using what are called 'simple' forums. Moodle (or other things like it) are great for any threaded discussion--in fact as far as I know that is the only way you can do a threaded discussion that is password protected.

Hi - what is the best purpose for setting up moodle? My impression is that it is to create online courses. I am at a K-6 school. What would be the application of Moodle in my teachers' classrooms and/or my library?<br />
Thanks - I have always been curious...<br />

Hi Surina. I am not a tech, I'm a teacher, but I am the Moodle admin for our division. I take care of the day-to-day Moodle stuff with teachers, students and the courses. I was not able to set up Moodle on my own on the server, so our division has contracted out the server administration to a 3rd party - we went with <a href="http://oktech.ca/">OKTech</a> as our Moodle host. It made it so much easier for upgrading to new Moodle versions, and adding plugins. I can just be a teacher/admin, and…

The teacher side of Moodle is a pretty easy jump in and trial and error it thing to do. You are asking about the install and admin side and fewer people are familiar with that side of it. I have no install or plug in experience because I co-admin and the primary admin handles the server side of Moodle. I am familiar with many of the post-install admin functions though. Perhaps I can be of some help once you get Moodle installed. Just let me know once you get that far.
