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:

Just a reminder that Moodle is on Twitter. Back in March I posted about Moodle getting an official Twitter account but I wanted to post a reminder because Moodle’s tweets are pretty interesting and useful (in my opinion). Many of the tweets are links to interesting forum questions and answers.

Some of the links in the tweets I found interesting:

• Twitter Like Feed
• Moodle 1.9.5 release coming soon!
• Free access without login and  password
• YouTube code doesn’t work – how to embed a video ?

Follow Moodle on Twitter!

• Moodle Course Conversion (Book Review)
• Buddy2 – Resource Central (Mood Tutorials Blog)
• Moodle Use Increasing – How About For You? (Around the Corner-MGuhlin.org)
• Moodle Girl’s Blog (A Moodle Blog)

From Moodle.org:

• Proposed Moodle 1.9.5 gradebook usability improvements (Moodle Announcements)
• Requesting feedback from the Moodle community (Planet Moodle)
• Moodle 2.0 surprise(Planet Moodle)

Interesting Links:

• The Killer App: Google Apps and Moodle Integration?
• Moodle in the Classroom (Updated)
• Moodle Hosting | Key To School (Cool free Moodle hosting site I recently found)

In a previous post I talked about wishing there were more Moodle communities. Here’s a Moodle community that I hope catches on and gains a big community. It’s called MoodleShare and it’s a community of Moodlers just wanting to share their Moodle sites and information.

It looks a litte raw right now but hopefully it can become a good community of Moodlers. You can post your Moodle site or create a group. It looks to me like a place to post Moodle links that you think others can benefit from. You can search by the tags. I think the site has potential. I’m trying to see if there are forums or anything but I do not see any. Sign up today!

Follow MoodleShare on Twitter!
