Just a quick reminder about the awesome resource, WeFollow (for Moodle). It’s a ranked list of Moodle Twitter users (people who have added the moodle tag to themselves when joining). There are currently 120 users on the list and you can also add yourself to the list.

Twitter is a great resource to network with other Moodlers and ask questions, learn about resources, get news and share things yourself! There are many awesome Moodlers using Twitter that are very helpful.

@moodle is the official Moodle.org Twitter handle. Tweets consists of Moodle news and helpful forum post links

@moodler is the man himself, Martin Dougiamas

Check out the main WeFollow site or take a look at the Moodle WeFollow list.

• Moodle Meets Google Wave (Global Classroom)

I thought I would blog about a great source to get information about Moodle – Twitter! I love how Twitter connects you with people across the world that you have never met and may never meet.

Every day I see interesting links, get questions answered and see awesome Moodle-related resources via Twitter. Below are just a few that I follow.

I know I have forgotten many but there’s a start. Please comment your own Twitter handle or any that you recommend!

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!

• Around the Corner-MGuhlin.org: Moodle and Twitter
• Helen Foster’s blog: Moodle 1.9.5 release coming soon!

Check out slides from keynote by Martin Dougiamas from morning of Wednesday 6th May at the Educause Australia conference in Perth, Western Australia. The content of the slides include what Moodle is, what it provides, why people use Moodle and a few slides about Moodle 2.0 and what is coming.

Do you Tweet? Follow Martin Dougiamas @moodler.

I have created a Twitter account for Moodlerific. Although I do post some Moodle related news and information on my personal Twitter account, this account will be everything Moodle and Moodlerific information. Follow Moodlerific!

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!
