They offered it at four locations last Fall and are gearing up for a second go. I think it has worked well for a platform, but one problem is that the course needs constant revision and by moving out of a wiki, you lose ease of updating on the fly. Once they've been given the original course file, each center has been on its own to make updates -- maybe I don't know enough about Moodle... can you overlay a new version of a course while it's active? Otherwise, you're always outdated or lots of redundant work...

It doesn't seem to work like you'd think a blog should work, but I know the designers are probably thinking of Moodle blogging from a slightly different perspective than a traditional blog. (Did I just use the word "traditional" in reference to a blog. My how far we've come.) I still think a Moodle verson of 23 Things would be great, especially as an official professional development opportunity in my district. Shelley, I don’t think much of Moodle’s blog either.

With her permission, I heavily reworked the model for classroom teachers, producing a <a href="http://k12learning20.wikispaces.com/" rel="nofollow">K12 version delivered on a wiki</a>, currently finishing its second go. I had thought about moving into Ning, but the portability of a Moodle version would be awesome. Not a big fan of Moodle blog function, though...

Walker Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:28:41 +0000 http://technosavvy.org/?p=533#comment-46959 Tim, I decided to use Netvibes as a portal for the 23 things project in Edina. As the teacher, I could pull the feed from each student's blog, and then comment right from within Netvibes. The participants could see other blogs that way as well. It made the posts a bit more open than going through Moodle, and we even had someone from New York comment on one of my student's blog posts. That made it more authentic to me than running it through Moodle, plus it allowed the participants to sign up on the <a href="23thingsonastick.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">"official" site</a>. Tim,

We are working on a way to use it with students in one of our 6th grade classrooms in Osseo this year. I'm also moodling this summer (getting training on it that is)I'd love to try the idea of moving something like it to Moodle - good topic for my training next week. Laurie Hi Tim,

Web 2.0 is exactly what we need to make the next leap - that shot in the arm - to engage us and excite us to learn and contribute. Next is the shift our technology dept. has to make to support us as we strive to move ahead. 23 Things is an awesome opportunity for teachers to come to understand all the new possibilities.
