Holton Learning Center - "We are Holton!"

Hi....Looking good! Is this something the students will be using, or the teachers, or both? Looks like it has some powerful possibilities. I got frustrated when I went to Resources (and not because it was a sports link) because I had trouble getting back to Moodle. A popup link would be nice with an easy return.
Also, enrollment and enroll are spelled incorrectly on the "set up account" instructions.
;-)
Also, it took me a minute to realize that I couldn't just drag or copy and paste the emoticon, but had to do the keystrokes. I'm too used to chatting with an easy send!

I'm really excited about this - how soon can I get students into this? :-D

8-)
I think I will like this. Will students have access to this by putting in their names and passwords? Then will they somehow go on a site I have created to do the chatting? I want to learn more! I think Chris will teach me shortly. How do we make sure that students post proper messages - school appropriate?

Tom, what a great tool! Thanks for sharing and allowing me a demo user id/password to try it out.
We currently have several teachers that have entire classes on Blackboard (hosted by ESSDACK), so the thought of hosting our own site would be great.

I am not sure how other students feel about moodle so far, as we have not been using it in the classroom for very long, but I really like it.  Posting online is becoming more and more popular, so maybe some students will be more willing to learn in a medium such as this. 

Although it does eliminate a little bit of the one-on-one discussion with the teacher (in some cases), I know that I feel more comfortable sharing my thougths and that I can better organize them when I have time to think about it.  I really feel that this is a great idea and any time invested in moodle will be well worth it. 

Just in case you wanted the opinion of a student... ^-)

I don't want to offend anyone, but I really don't like the fact that we are trying to go to all computer learning now. Yes, moodle is a great learnig tool, and yes, it could help. What is going to happen if the server crashes and we have to do our assignment on the computer. The only thing that the computer is doing to the teacher is drive them out of the class room. With Beyond Books and Moodle, we students do not need teachers anymore. We only have to read our screen, answer the questions, save it, and trun it in, then we go back and do the same thing over again. What ever happened to the teacher-student aspect of learning. When teachers give input of what they learned that isn't on the internet, or just some of their personal opinions and beliefs, it helps the students to relax and open up a bit. I thought school was about preparing students for the "real world." If the only thing teachers are doing is making us read computers and answering questions on the internet, how are students developing much needed social growth. The things that most students lack when they leave highschool is not the ability to answer math, science, or reading questions, but the confidence to go out and apply themselves to a job. With all the computer learning where is the social growing coming into effect?

Seems easy enough to use. The possibilities with moodle are limitless. Hope everybody gets on board! B-)

I attended the Moodle workshop at MACE and I am starting to see some of the possibilities it can have. I still like the testing features of quia, but I think both can be incorporated for a really neat way to provide informaiton to students and supplement classroom instruction. I think there are ways to use this along with the current way I use the Ag Ed website ;-D

I really like the moodle idea. I think it's a more fun way to study and learn new things. I know that I will use this, and I hope that other kids will use it too!:-D

I believe that moodle can be a good tool if students remember to use it. i have trouble relizing that assignments are now on the internet and not paper.
