Hi redcamarocruiser!
Please post the links here. That would be very useful. It �s not advertising your worksheets, workplace or private business, so free workshops are always good!
Cheers,
AB

Dear Mary, I first want to thank you for all the PRECIOUS tips ragarding many subjects you have been sharing with us here in the forum!
I read this post and went to search the web about moddles, which I did not know what it was.
Can you or others talk more about it and how can we use it as an ESL resource? I started to read and got soooooooo interested!!! As I am all about using different tools to learn a language (and so are my students!!) heehhehe
I appreciate deeply all the support everyone is always willing to give here in eslprintables.com.
Thank you once more!
Hugs, Bruna.

They give you a site on wikieducator (working space to build your wiki site). I completed 3 levels in the course. I took it a second time to learn more skills and improve my basic skills.
Here is my wiki address. It is a work in progress. http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Redcamarocruiser
My favorite things were the editable Kaltura video and the wink tutorial. It was really interesting to be able to create a tutorial by captiring screenshots of every keystroke I made!
I guess you can see that I am excited about these valuable free resources.
Regarding Moodle, I have not taken the course yet, but I saw a demo of the projects that the last class made. I will try to find the link for it and post it here later today.
Moodle is a classroom online. I understand it is supposed to have quizes. Teachers upload assignments and students retrieve them and then upload the completed work. It s a paperless environment that organizes everything in one place. A student doesn`t have to worry about forgetting his homework at home--it is on the moodle. At a conference I attended, teachers who use moodle were very enthusiastic about it.
Here is the linkto the moodle presentation day for the last session of the moodle class.
One needs to sign up for a free wiziq account to view it. http://www.wiziq.com/
