I noticed that only few blogs are talking about Moodle. I present to you Apprendre à distance (http://www.apprendre.grics.qc.ca). It is in French but with the online translation tools, you should be able to read it.

It is in French, but with the translation tools (like Google), it will be easy for you to read it. http://apprendre.grics.qc.ca Geoffroi Hi,

The nings are great, but they detract from the focus on Moodle (ning does a much better job in helping users share information)...if only there were a ning/moodle module. What I'd like to see if real repository of Moodle classrooms where teachers could view, comment on and rate content in Moodle and contribute/take courses that were ready to use. Moodlecommons.org is a step in the right direction, but we're a long way off. Great site, thanks for the posts.

True, about larger districts collaborating within their own district but I think great ideas are discovered and shared when people from different backgrounds and with different experiences come together. Plus it's easier for someone like me, not in the district, to share and learn : ) We are currently offering Moodle User Group Sessions to our staff that have already taken the mandatory Moodle training. These sessions are smaller groups of Moodlers wanting to collaborate and share with others. I have learned that teachers learn a lot from their peers and they really embrace the opportunity to do so. @Richard Thanks for the compliment!
