Welcome to the Procial Network

I would like to take credit for coining the phrase Procial Network. I would like to but I cannot. Once I thought of it a quick google search took me to http://sweattnbullets.com/, but AJ Sweatt gives credit to the phrase to Holly J at http://yslibrarian.blogspot.com. It will have to suffice to be the third person to have an original thought, hey I can live with that.
" As a teacher you create a network for you and your students.
* Share inspiration, ideas, readings, thoughts
* Post discussions, deadlines, homework
* Embed pictures, links and video
* Keep parents informed
* Collaborate on work by providing feedback"
So, what in the world does this look like? How is the Moodle set up? Though we’re not quite ready to offer guest access to the Moodle yet, I thought I’d give a sneak-peak of some examples of what we’re doing.
One feature we’ve added recently, and as instructors are having a blast with, is in-class achievements. For example, we challenged students to successfully “friend” each of their classmates in the game.
