Session Name: Moodle: Funny Name, Serious Capability Presenter Name(s): Kevin Parker School or District: Washington Township (Gloucester County) Email: kparker@wtps.org About this session: Moodle is an open-source (i.e., FREE!) web-based application. Moodle.org claims it produces "modular-internet based courses that support social constructionist pedagogy." I claim that it helps me extend my classroom activities, maintain an online record of my course, and provides another forum for interacting with students. This presentation will be an informal tour of my Moodle page, experiences (both positive and negative) with Moodle, and my future plans for Moodle. Central to my approach is the idea that technology should only ever fulfill an existing need and not create a new one.
