Moodle 101 - Student Centered Learning
The students in your classroom are surrounded by technology in every aspect of their lives, so why should their time in school be any different.
- Give your students the chance to become lifelong learners by experiencing education outside the confines of your classroom.
- Expose your students to the fact that we are a global society and in some minds "A Flat World."

Wikis and Blogs
Blogs and Wikis
Two other online technologies that are starting to show up in schools are blogs and wikis. These tools allow for online collaboration in slightly different ways. Blogs allow users to post messages and modify their own content while only being able to comment on others’ posts; in a wiki, users can modify any information that is posted. Teachers are using these two tools in a variety of ways, including: blogs are being used for students to journal and discuss all kinds of academic information from books to artwork to lab experiments; and wikis are being used for group writing projects and for problems that have multiple solutions.All of these collaboration tools have the potential to help students and teachers work more efficiently and learn more effectively. The CoSN report explains in detail how to start using these technologies in your schools. Darrell Walery is the director of technology for Consolidated High School District 230 in Orland Park, IL
