moodle

How is an LMS (Moodle) different from a standard teacher website? As you work with Moodle, what advantages do you see it affording your students? How can Moodle help you transform your classroom into a more student centered learning environment?

What makes moodle different then a website is that moodle is more interactive.  Not only does it contain the same amount of information as a web site but it takes it one step further.  The moodle site is an extension of the classroom. It allows the students to engage in anytime any where learning and all the classroom material are at their finger tips.  Moodle allows the teachers and students to explore more resources and to be up to date with real time events.  Moodle also helps the classroom to go "green".  All home work and in class assignments are submitted online.  By exposing our students to moodle and having them become more custom to working on it this will only better prepare them for college, as all colleges use this program.
