OODLES of MOODLES

MOODLEROOM * * *

I have been forced to use tools similar to our MOODLEROOM in past courses. Which is why when I first found out that we’d be using it for assignments, information, etc. I wasn’t very excited.

However, this tool proved to be much easier to use than were the classroom web-tools I’ve used in the past.

Pros: easy to use once you get the hang of it, ability to see your group and other group members, easy to submit assignments and keep track of due dates and allows students to plan ahead for future class topics.

Cons: the blog leaves something to be desired, the additional resources are not always displayed on the main page and there are still a few elements that I never quite got the hang of.

I would consider using the MOODLEROOM or similar tools in my classroom in the future.
