Back in January Helen Foster wrote a blog post telling about all of the “official” Moodle Twitter accounts. I just wanted to remind users of them!

• @moodle – The official Moodle.org Twitter account
• @moodleplugins – Tweets about newly added modules and plugins to the database
• @moodlethemes – Tweets about newly added themes to the database and other Moodle theme news
• @moodledev – Tweets about the CVS
• @moodlesecurity – Security announcements
• @moodlejobs – Job offerings and wanted job that are Moodle-related

If you don’t already use Moodle, I highly recommend joining and following the above Twitter accounts and check out this awesome WeFollow – Moodle site, where it lists the top Moodlers on Twitter. That link is the place to start when trying to find good Moodlers on Twitter.

I haven’t done one of these for awhile so I’ll try and gather up all my saved links from the past weeks!

Moodle Monthly – An awesome new site by Joseph Thibault

Moodle Monthly is a collaborative project bringing order to news and information pertaining to the open source project and learning management system called Moodle.

Recently I’ve been helping out with getting our district’s Moodle-Google SSO fully working. It had been working but we ran into a few issues. I think we have solved our problem…we’ll see tomorrow! I plan to write a complete blog post about our situation and how we were able to get it working which will hopefully help others out there in the same situation. We’re using Ubuntu 8.0.4, Moodle 1.9.1+ and the LDAP Authentication.

Edited 6-01-09 12:03 PM – Added another link

Hey all! I’ve been slacking on posts lately and keeping up with the Moodle news in general, but with good reason!

This week is our district’s last week of school and I can definitely feel the summer vibe. I’m an assistant coach this summer for a U14 girls club soccer team, which is now in full swing and taking up some of my time.

I have also received my review copy of Moodle Administration and have begun reading it. It’s been to quite a few places with me already – the gym, work, Chipotle, my car… So far so good (currently on Chapter 5 – page 115 to be exact). As I’ve read through some of the beginner content it seems to be clear and concise. A short review of the first half of the book will be coming shortly.

Here are a few links I’ve marked down recently:
