Moodle is an e-learning software for course management. I found out that this is a free and open source platform, so anyone can use it and adapt it to their needs. This is a great way to connect students and teachers with each other. Teachers can virtually give their course material and syllabus digitally to his or her students. It fills the classrooms with less paper. The site can be updated frequently by the teacher. And to top it off, there is a blog and forum portion that can have students and teachers interact. In this age of technology, educators should have an edge to help their students. This is definitely a nice platform that I want to use if and when I become a teacher myself. I had the opportunity to use the University of Guam version of this program. It is a http://campus.uogdistance.com. Unfortunately, this site is limited to professors and students at the UOG.
Google is an amazing search engine (I know some people may disagree). But more than that, it is a helpful toolbox for all your internet, school and work needs. GMAIL is Google's online e-mail application that is very intuitive. It saves previous e-mail address you used and gives you a chance to add them to your contact list. It also stacks the mail so that you can keep track of replies. Google even has a Blog site. Blogger.com is simple yet innovative. You can do you simple blogging, add pictures, video and whatever you please. And if you think that is not enough, Google also offers commonly use office programs. Call Google Docs, it is an office program similar to MS office: word, spreadsheet, power-point, and Visual Basic. Not only that, you can share whatever do with anyone you choose on real-time. It is not as complex as MS Office, but it is free so why complain! I have yet to fully realize what Google has to offer. I learn something new virtually every day.
