Blog #6
2/23 - 3/2
We continued going over the Moodle pages. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed because some people have a ton of content on their pages already. I need to start producing more content this weekend. I feel like I have the design and organization of my page down, so now it is just a matter of plugging in some content. It was beneficial to get feedback outside of class; Tisa noticed a couple of things that I did not. I probably would not have noticed it if she didn't point it out. Dr. Sponder gave me some ideas about changing my menu and I took his advice and changed the labels. I now understand fully the segmenting principle and it makes the Moodle look cleaner and more organized. I find that I can navigate my own Moodle much easier now that I have applied the principle to each section. In the second half of class, Dr. Sponder showed us some administrative functions on our Moodle pages such as backing it up and checking what users are enrolled in the course. He also introduced us to some apps to make some animated gifs so that we can embed into our Moodle. He also showed us an app to create comics and went through a quick demo on Ted.ed. I have already created a couple of EdPuzzle videos for my Moodle so I will try to create some content on Ted.ed and the other apps for my Moodle. I'm hoping to find some cool apps from the Periodic Table of Education Technology that I will be able to use for my Moodle, also.
I feel the same way about the organizational advantage of segmenting and have found that my Moodle is much easier to read as well. Don't stress about your content Martin, you know what you are talking about and have done great things with Powtoon in 512 and I am sure that creating content for the Moodle will be no sweat for you.
