Web Tools Mind Map

This is such a great Web Tools 2.0 Mind Map from TRIG I had to share it. I mainly wanted to share so I will always have a reference back to it. Find the Mind Map here.

Instructional Moodle Videos

This is primarily for teachers in my district, but others may find them useful as well. Our district is using Moodle Version 2. 5. Below will be a running video tutorial for beginner level tasks in Moodle.

My First Badge

I finally got around to creating my first badge and integrating it with Moodle.  You can create your own badge at Open Badges or use stock badges from Class Badges. Creating a badge was fairly simple and straightforward.  I then just downloaded the image from these sites and uploaded it to Moodle. Go to a class you teach in Moodle, administration, and then badges. You can set the badge to be given manually by you, or you can set parameters to award it automatically to students once they complete a task or meet certain criteria. The bottom picture below is my final badge. The first picture was my draft I awarded to a student. This is their view on their profile page in Moodle. I am looking forward to delving into this digital reward system more this year. Practice and enjoy!!
