My Health Blog

My experiences with Moodle:
This will have to be one of the shortest entries! My wife had taken some classes using Moodle over the previous Summer and then used the application in some of her Health classes. I had previously used iWeb, an Apple application, and posted daily blogs in the previous year for my classes. Feeling I had already mastered this use, I ignored her work using Moodle.
My daily entries became cumbersome and after two trimesters, my energy and interest waned. My wife however, continued with her use of Moodle.
The next Summer (09), I had the opportunity to take classes in Hutchinson to learn Moodle. Unfortunately, I did not get a lot from the classes and so did not use it last year. But, armed with some of the online classes (thanks to Marlene for placing Atomic Learning and others on our school website) and the comittment to create an online Health class, I am learning that Moodle is more than a simple Blog. I will be using Moodle in the online design for my Soph Health class which is being piloted this next year.
