Great Post: “Moodle is an Airport!” (GlobalClassroom)

On another note, I plan to write a few posts about our district’s experience with the Moodle-Google SSO module. I will be co-presenting at the TIES 2009 Conference about this and in January I will be giving a short presentation to another district with my co-worker.

I hope to write up a few posts with bits and pieces and maybe attach some of the slides or parts of our presentation. Happy Moodling!

Yesterday I was introduced to a growing new resource for those looking for jobs in the education field. Joseph Thibault, from Global Classroom (which I have referenced quite frequently on this blog) let me know about one of his other projects PostLearn.com.

PostLearn.com is the educators destination for jobs. We provide the simplest and best forum for posting and searching for jobs in the field of education.

PostLearn is a simple, sleek job board focused on education. Since much of the traffic comes from educational blogs it creates a great combiniation of quality job postings and quality applicants. Instead of posting or searching for jobs on huge sites I think this is a pretty cool place to start – a place focused on education, being visited by strictly educational users!

Visit PostLearn.com today : )

I have been pretty busy lately, so here are a few recent links to check out. Another quality blog post will be coming shortly : )
