Its OK not to Blog - Oklahoma MoodleMoot 2009

[Kent Brooks]

Matt Campbell and the crew at Metrotech again hosted the 2009 Oklahoma Moodle Moot. It is great to see fellow Moodlers and meet new ones. I have often said I started writing down a few things related to what I do in a blog because I felt pressure as CTO at Western OK State College because I always feel pressured to understand various technologies and trends. Stuart Mealor stated in his session "Social Networking in Moodle" that it is OK not to blog therefore this is my last entry...Just Kidding. I sort of like it

Saw Jonathon and Michelle Moore from Remote Learner and they reminded me of the Moodle Songs Scott Charlson and I came up with a few years ago for the MACE Kansas conference.


From Stuarts Social Networking in Moodle Site

Martin would rather see User Profile Plugins similar to Facebook rather than add it to the core

Wouldn't it be better to blend your favorite tools rather than having totally separate items

Eportfolios with Mahara by Matt Campbell

It is comforting to know others are looking at the same eportfolio tools we are. Eportfolios are becoming more popular as a tool to really show what a student can actually do.

Integration
You set Moodle and Mahara to talk to each other and you control how info flows between the two tools
