William,
I viewed your Moodle space but did not see any webquests (apparent by title that is) on your space.  Have you done webquests with Moodle and if so are they searchable by google?



Thanks,
Rod

I am very vocal about my preference for Moodle. The ease of use for updating and creation of web pages is why I would suggest it in this situation. 

If you are just using this in the the media center I would assume you are not using it to create graded activities. You are using it more for resources that students can access to supplement an in class activity or something you are having them do. If this is the case you would only need to make a certain number of user logins that students use at each station. For example, station1---user1, etc. 

For teachers they could each have their own login and you can give them rights to make changes or not. The teachers or you could then create the resource that is needed. 

You can look at my Moodle to see how I have my courses set up to get an ideas if you are interested.

I think this is a wonderful topic for discussion.  I am making the move this year from the emints classroom to the building library/Media Center.   I need to create a new page for our library and am not sure of the best format. Not all rooms are emints but all the students use the Media Center to complete projects. That means this page needs to provide a lot of direction to the students as well as assistance for the teachers.

I considered Moodle as we work on curriculum for the Library Media Center but for handling 650+ students and teachers that seems right now to me overwhelming. A wiki page would be a fun way but do I have too many areas that need a more stationary type place like I could provide with a plain ol' ordinary web page?  Plus I need it to be flexible since the age level using this page is from 2nd grade and possilby younger to parents and teachers. And this age range really has a bigger technical expertise range.


I would appreciate any input anyone wishes to offer.
Marsha Jo
