Moodle is an open source Course Management System. It is a rather dynamic tool that will allow you to develop instruction or teach online. The moodle site offers a demonstration site where you can log in as an administrator, teacher or student and see what the system can do. It is important to play with this, the more you do, the more there is to do.
I first heard of Moodle from some of the people in the technology initiative in our district. The comments were all extremely positive and I decided to take a closer look, I am still playing with Moodle and have not figured out all of the ins and outs but I have recognized that it has a place in my classroom.
Now for the downside, this is not truly a Web 2.0 tool, it falls under that category but in reality it is open source software, it does require a web host or computer to support it. Unlike the Course Management System mentioned in an earlier blog.
