The grades are in for Education focused LMSs | E-Learning 24/7 Blog - 1 views

  • Moodle can be a worthwhile system but it requires heavy customization, dedicated IT person who has Moodle skill sets (ideal), in-house support (because when end users can’t figure it out – they will come calling YOU) and costs that many folks fail to realize. In a nutshell, Moodle is not an out of the box system. It is not a turnkey solution and frankly it is just not that good.
  •  
    This article makes the point that Moodle just isn't that good, and recommends a handful of really great LMSs that might work for you. Especially noteworthy is Frog Trade, which is an adaptable interface much friendlier for K-6 or K-12 than Moodle.

ReadWorks.org | The Solution to Reading Comprehension - 5 views

  •  
    This site has many readings, mostly non-fiction, graded by U.S. school grade level (K-6), with accompanying lesson plans and connections to U.S. Common standards. Nice to have pre-made lessons, but the readings are not authentic, of course. Use as supplemental activity, or cheap source of downloadable pdf files with readings and activities.
