NJ.com posted an article this morning, entitled “Students Discovering Online Collaboration” where the author explains part of the revolution that is happening in quite a few schools in New Jersey. The district I teach in has just launched Moodle last week, and I am one of small “test” groups who is using it in the classroom.
Moodle is unquestionably one of the premiere online collaboration tools that many districts and K-12 employ. Moodle is very similar to BlackBoard or Scholar, which colleges utilize for communication and collaboration. Not only are students enthused about learning, but students’ accountability is increased because of online collaboration. This enthusiasm and accountability is also supplemented through other Web 2.0 technologies.
As educators, we must utilize the tools that students learning through, mainly technology, the Internet, and mobile learning. NJ.com’s article does a great job of introducing how new age students are learning, but now it is our [teacher's] turn to best use the technology in and out of classrooms.
