Our school ITS has been using Moodle this school year to get teachers to collaborate and share ideas about using technology in the classroom. I thought I might give the Course Management System a shot, as it is supported by the district servers. After setting up a class through the district point man, I found it really easy to upload documents and loaded with lots of features.
I thought I would benefit from a CMS like Moodle for a few reasons. I can set up online and extension assignments without requiring students to navigate the blog, scrolling down, etc. I can move appropriate assignments to the top, instead the obvious limitations of a traditional blog website. Also, the password protection helps protect identities and copyright infringement when I supply the class with resources. One feature I really liked as I set up the class was unzipping folders of documents within Moodle.
Ahhhh... it's the little things.
