An Apology for Being a Newby

Yes, Yes, editing comes in handy.  My earlier posts were far too long.  I promise to keep them shorter and sweeter and not try to write the great American novel on here.

Down to the nitty gritty----Moodle is functional in my classroom these days, but it's not quite where I want it.  My district refuses to allow parent access to the Moodle page in any form including as a "guest."  It's daunting to tell kids they will have to share their passwords and logins with their parents.  There was an audible gasp in the room when I said it.

Furthermore, I can't figure out how to link a single page of text to other forms, assignments etc. already stored on my computer. I can do it by uploading a file, but only one file at a time.  I won't bog you down with the details.

As far as blogging in the classroom goes, it hasn't happened yet.  I suspect Wikis will happen eventually.

I would like to state for the record, and because it is now recorded for posterity, I like this year's kids.  Isn't it always that way in week two?

Thanks for your patience if you have attempted to read this blog at all.  I can do jump breaks now.
