Teach Me How To Moodle

Will Teach Me How to Moodle become as big as Teach Me How To Dougie??  Probably not, but Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle continue to become more popular in education. This may be hard for some to believe but there are those that are not drawn to technology and are not that adept when it comes to using it. With this in mind I am trying to create a resource where fellow teachers can slowly and incrementally learn how to use Moodle in my district or any other school. I know similar videos are all over the internet but I have not seen them put in a simple and sequential order to follow. I did a few trainings last week on each of these Moodle skills, but I wanted to create a resource for them to refer back to and inform those who could not make it. More videos will follow ,but I wanted to get these out there to get people started. Click here to be taken to the page.

PowToon: Put Some Swag In Your Presentation

PowToon is a very unique and interesting new way to present information to an audience. As the name suggests there are many cartoon animation options to put into your presentation. You have the option of making your presentation act like a regular PowerPoint where you click along for animations or new pages as you present, or you can set it up like a movie where you just click play. It took me about 10 minutes to catch on and understand how to best use the application. There is a bit of a learning curve with timing transitions and words appearing on the screen. Below is an example of a movie I made using PowToon to advertise the Intro to Moodle presentation I led at my school.
