I've been through 1and1.com with a "fine tooth comb" and cannot find a 1-click Moodle Installation. I've been trying to install this myself all summer and keep running into problems. Can you tell me where to fine the 1-click installation, I would be…
I noticed that there is a new update to Moodle, 1.9.5, that has major improvements to the gradebook. Here is the page for the release notes: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Gradebook_improvements_in_Moodle_1.9.5 .
We use Moodle 1.9 and the biggest hurdle is making the calculation formula to weight your grades. I would never think of even showing that to most teachers. It was hard enough for me to figure out, though now that I have I love it. Without some kind…

Wow! What a fun topic. Here are the things I use all the time (some old, some new):
1. Outlook (to organize my time)
2. Moodle
3. Youtube
4. Purdue OWL
5. Snapgrades (an AMAZING online grading program)
6. Jstor (through my graduate program, I use i…
Hi Demetri
It looks like http://webteachertools.com/wtt/ is a bona fide set-up. I guess the only drawback is that you share your course with many others. It's not clear from the intro page what role you'd be given. Without admin powers certain thing…
From a google search of "free moodle hosting for teachers" it looks like webteachertools offers a free Moodle course setup to teachers. There is a link in the upper right corner to sign up. I don't know if this is legit or not, but you might want to…

Thanks for your input! We have a liberal filtering policy which only blocks, porn, gambling and hate sites. My teachers have been upset because they do not want to be the Facebook "police". We set up a disciplinary OU that restricts access to any fu…
We don't block facebook at our school. I actually just did a history research paper with my students where they created Facebook fan pages for early 19th century reformers. Anyway, during class, when kids are using their computers, I circle around t…
This is a reaction to my earlier video post about using Facebook in the classroom.

Is anyone using, have used, or have any opinions on the HP tablets?
I have a copy of their white paper on online gaming and how it actually improves a student's understanding of civics.
Nice way to sum it up, Joseph. I enjoyed the exchange here. I agree w/you on cars in my comment above, but the way. Cars certainly allow us to go places and do things that simply are not possible without them (kinda like the Internet I suppose). My…
Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
Your slideshow is great---to the point! I may be using part of it---thanks!
How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
