I’m enjoying 15 days of Google Answers from edtechroundup -  a group of educators interested in the pedagogically sound use of ICT in education who questioned the Google Apps team and are serialising (!) the answers. Still not half way through yet - well worth a read!

All about changing grading in Moodle - not just for assignments but also for evaluating students’  performance in a forum or a glossary. Click the image for a Wink Screencast about Moodle Scales or read the Moodle Scales and Gradebook blog here. (or listen to the podcast below!)

Mrs Moodle is always keen to promote the appropriate use of web2 in education and welcomes the arrival of  Edtechroundup , regular podcasts on pedagogically sound ideas for technology in education. Edtechroundup was announced at BETT by Doug Belshaw. Previous shows have included discussion of classtools.net and the latest podcast will feature an interview with the GoogleApps team. Listen to the first show via the blog here

This one is, with acknowledgement to Sue Cowley, about ‘getting the buggers to Moodle’ - although that’s not entirely fair, as you’ll  see if you read the blog or hear if you listen to the podcast below..
