It is funny how much difference three or four years make. That is when I started providing awareness of Moodle as a course management system to our high school teachers during our technology professional development meetings. At the time, faculty just didn’t get it. Eventually, I got one teacher to pilot using Moodle in her classroom. From her success, it began to slowly spread from teacher to teacher, in a geometric growth.

Fast forward to today. We have just completed our first day of classes and we have many teachers who are pushing to have access to their Moodle course pages (so many so that I am thinking about having the students self-enroll), they are having their students create podcasts in the first week, and they creating video.

In the first week, I have had more contact time with Middle School students and High School students, showing them how to use wikis and digital storytelling tools than I have ever had in the previous 14 years.

We can often be victims of our own success. For this, I am proud of where we are and where we are moving to.
