Free Web 2.0 Moodle Course

The ICT Guy posted what seems to be a great introduction to web2.0 course on his blog and at Moodlecommons.org (check out some of the other courses offered a the commons too!).  The course was tested this last term with teachers at his school and did involve some weekly discussions which could be easily replicated depending on your group's needs.  


The course is well organized and would make for a great professional development exercise with any school's staff (especially if you wanted to introduce them to the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment at the same time!).  

Check out entire course at Moodlecommons.org or check out this cool introduction slide show which I found in the course.
Download the entire zipped course from Moodlecommons or from here and restore it to your course to get started (here's a video to help with the restore process).  Thanks ICT Guy!

If you're interested in taking a Web2.0 course for PLUs or Act48 with a facilitator, check out Lisa Fernald's (Vermont educator) Web 2.0 course in our catalog.

G'day,
Thanks for letting more people know about the free web2.0 moodle course. I hope people find it useful. Don't forget to add/delete/modify it and share it back with the community.
Cheers
Darrel

Darrel, thanks for the comment. I think the remixing and sharing back part is the most important piece of the bargain!

Thanks for creating such a great resource.
