Sorry I have been gone for a while. I went to Greece and Turkey on vacation. It was an amazing trip. It gave me an entirely new perspective. I highly recommend it. I really didn't deal with the technical side of life. But I am back.
So, lets talk about virtual learning space. Moodle provides a free virtual classroom space. There are over 678,000 registered users all over the world. Have you ever used Moodle? I have used Blackboard and it is very understandable and usable. Moddle is free. I was wondering if anyone out there sees a need or desire for a personal learning space or is it only of value for long distance learning. Would you be more likely to use a virtual learning space, a blog or a wiki?

I've used blackboard as a student. It's only been with distance courses. My perspective on moodle is that it may facilitate students who are absent over a long period of time or as a possible workspace for an ongoing "anchor" activity that might involve community work or something that doesn't usually fit into the school day. I've thought about having the students visit each of the conservation lands in town and journal about it on moodle and also learn about conservation or biodiversity simultaneously...I'm going to set up an account soon to see how that might work. Glad to hear you're back in action!
