Cycle 17:Moodle

A goal that my English teacher, Mr. Watson, has made for our class was to go paper-less. To save paper, these past weeks he has introduced our class to moodle. Moodle is a website where our class can post assignments, share ideas, and communicate with each other virtually. One of the unique features of moodle is when other classmates are online, you are able to instant message them. With moodle, our class can have open discussions about assignments we are doing in class. Unlike a blog, with moodle it can not be seen publicly, it is your class’ site and no one else can access your work. What makes moodle difficult to use is the editing system. Only one person is allowed to edit at a time, and if someone else edits before you, you must edit again. This system would be a lot easier to use if more than one person could edit at a time. Moodle can also be troublesome when it starts to lag. If moodle updated each person’s work faster, it would be a lot more efficient. Overall, once our class starts using moodle more frequently, our work will like more professional.
