This article reviews some of the main components explored in the MOODLE

This article explores some of the main components of the MOODLE for teachers course. It highlights the major values in an educational program that uses MOODLE as a CMS that contribute to greater quality in education in the resulting program.

I am testing the possibility that our course documents might be useful to others in that we could highlight passages and add comments (via stick notes on the original pdfs) in Diigo as a way of interacting on the readings. I expect users to require memberships in both Diigo and in Google Documents (both free, and the latter comes automatically with a gmail account). Please let me know whether you have problems accessing my highlights and/or comments and whether you can access the full text of the pdfs from where you are. Thanks, radney (jrradney@gmail.com).

I was rather amazed at the implications of this video in terms of where public education came from. Then, I was discussing this with a friend who said they had been exposed to the same ideas when he was in a course on the history and philosophy of education at the Univ. of Ariz. in 1970. I find it disturbing not just that the philosophy of education has such roots, but that it has been known for such a long time. It seems that this would provide some sort of imperative for improvement and change. What do you think?

I have been a critical observer of the educational system since kindergarten. I am amazed that I became a teacher in the public school system as that was the last thing I had considered. I had initially wanted to be a dancer but left for Europe to study art. I left Toronto right after high school when life stepped in. I became an English language teacher to adults in a foreign country due to unforeseen circumstances. How strange! But, I never gave up. I have been doing all I can to break the public school system from the inside. It has been quite challenging, but with some terrific personal rewards.
