Hi Darcy

Keep up the passion, doing great !

As far as Moodle goes, I’d introduce it to staff as a ‘Swiss Army knife’ of strategies and tools – sturdy, reliable, lots of features but you don’t have to use or even know them all to do a good job with some of them.

It is easy to bamboozle people with Moodle, then you’ll lose them (I know what we teachers are like …. ). For my 20c worth – go easy, go grassroots, over the shoulder ‘what are you doing, that looks good style’.

Your ‘Pioneers’ sounds great but I tell you the best cred you will get is when the LEAST techie teachers starts telling others how good this stuff is, even though (s)he talks about one single feature.

I am actually creating something along those lines for our staff and I’d be happy to share the knowledge, maybe even get our staff to cooperate with your lot on Moodle.

Keep in touch!
