Martin Dougiamas recently posted on Moodle Announcements that latest stable releases of 1.8.x and 1.9.x are now available.

There are many small bug fixes and some new features in each release, but the main two things you need to know about are the gradebook interface changes in 1.9.5 and some important security issues. – Read more

Have you ever wished there was a way for students to draw or paint in Moodle? If so, you’ll be pleased to hear that one of our GSOC 2009 projects is a paint tool for Moodle.. read more

This is a bit late (first posted on Moodle.org on May 8th) but Helen Foster posted a Moodle Announcement about a paint tool being developed. Read more about it.

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!

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)

Check out Helen Foster’s latest Moodle Announcement about Moodle taking part in the Google Summer of Code.

It looks like the original “Moodle” account has graciously given it to Martin Dougiamas and Moodle. Moodle’s lastest tweet reads:

Thanks Charlene for giving us your “moodle” twitter account! The plan is to use it for official news about Moodle software and community.

Follow Moodle now!

Check out the Moodle Moots coming up in the next few months via Moodle Announcements.

My co-worker and I have been looking into attending a Moodle Moot. Our district has an idea of putting on our own Moodle Moot, or Moodle Workshop (on a smaller scale), in the future and attending an actual Moot would greatly benefit us. We have been looking into the Canada one or perhaps one in Oklahoma or San Francisco. Check out the main Moodle Moot page.
