We discussed this a couple of months ago here. I tried several new options having used Blackboard in the past. You have to have a threaded discussion so there is the option to not only comment on the discussion question but also to comment on everyone else's comments. We did 2 books this semester --Airborn 5th and 6th grade and Peter and the Star Catchers 4th grade. We ended up using Moodle which works just fine.
We had about 50 kids involved and so you can imagine how many hours it took to reply---after 2000 responses I finally gave up! You can see the discussion by going to my website http://adifferentplace.org, click on the Moodle icon. Username and password: baguest. Let me know if you have any other questions, this is the fifth time I've done an online book discussion, N.

Welcome! Your work sounds interesting but I could not find it. Can you send a link? I have a learning community site organized in a book module format in Drupal and am interested in seeing how your is organized. I am also a secondary social studies teacher. The maze has become an integral part of my classroom!

Hi Rashmi,
I now live in U.S. . Before coming here, I worked in India as a Science teacher for 14yrs .Its heartening to see that you guys are incorporating technology into the curriculum so well there too. I looked at some of ur slides, they are good. Congrats! Keep up your good work. I am doing M.A in Biology here and hope to be a teacher in one of the schools here one day.

Hi Geeta,
Nice to have you on this platform. I think its need of the hour to start up with these new strategies. I started my web journey in Dec 2006 when I got associated with CII Shiksha. Its a non profit organisation ,organising free workshops for teachers ,empowering them with the latest knowlege of integrating technology and Open Source tools in classroom. I am trying and experimenting with them in Indian situations. And I am happy to see a smile and excitement on students faces.
Regards
Rashmi

Melissa,
You sure have some wonderful resources on your website. Not a one of them did I know about before, and will soon add them to my website which also includes resources for teachers. While some of the resources I have can be used online, many of them can be printed and used as desired. For literacy, my most important resources if My Own Books: http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/books which features created-on-the-fly books for students from beginnners upward, which are personalized to the reader (they seem to have strong powers to draw the reader into the story since the story is about his/her own adventure, Many of them are adventures in history. You can find all of my resources at http://www.educationalsynthesis.org .

I am a Technology Integration Specialist for Northbrook District 28 in Illinois, USA. I started up Moodle in my last district and loved it. So upon district 28 luring me away with that ever important chance to expand my opportunities and wealth (of course), I just had to implement Moodle here too. Different attack plan with greater success. I give workshops and presentations, and poster sessions whenever I can to share the "coolness" of Moodle to as many others as I can find that will listen, watch, and be WOWed. FTC publishing asked me to write a book which I did called Moodle Magic: Make It Happen that has been available for purchase from their website http://www.ftcpublishing.com since the end of August 2007. I love my job, which seems like play, since I get to explore and learn and share throughout 3 elementary buildings and a junior high getting teachers to try new technologies integrated into their existing curriculum making learning easier and fun.
Max and Dewey are my two small parrots. Max is a Sun Conure and Dewey is a White-Bellied Caique. The Sun is a prissy princess and the Caique is a total clown. Both are female, and both are spoiled. Thus my screenname everywhere being "featheredflowers" in case you ever really wanted to know.
Since I mentioned my fids (feathered kids = fids) I should probably give my hubby some comment. He is great, awesome, sweet, fun, supportive, funny, and usually thinks I'm either weird or nuts. Constantly thinking this deserves pointing out that he chose me thus weird or nuts must be his taste.
In my free time when I am not continually exploring the world on my computer, I enjoy art quilting. This means that I sew mostly what qualifies as a quilt but is pretty much only usable as a wall hanging. I paint, dye, manipulate, and embellish fabrics to create 3 dimensional art that is quilted, displayed in shows and entered in contests.
That's me! Anything else you would like to know, just ask.

Laurie,
Glad to see you here. I am a retired teacher who was early on the Internet bandwagon, so your job would also be my favorite job!
What does Moodle do for the students? Or is it a professional tool?
