I'm feeling good about my moodle page. Yes, it took a while but I'm finally beginning to understand it. Many times during the process I had to redo what I had completed. I searched videos and YouTube to try to make sense of what I was doing. Many time I felt like throwing in the towel. But I usually took a break then and came back to it. Spending time away also helps me to refocus and think of new ways in which I can solve my problem.
One thing I found out that it's good to read all directions before starting and refer back to them often. When I first set up my moodle page I only included 6 weeks. Then when looking back over the directions I read that we had to have 8 weeks. I had to go back and redesign the labels that I had already made.
I still have a few questions that I didn't find answers to. I'm sure if I had searched more I could have found the answers. One of the questions that I still have is that I'm not so sure how to more the weeks around in moodle. For example I wanted to add a picture to the beginning of my page. To do that I had to move everything down. I think I took the long way around doing that.
Overall I understand more about moodle that I did before this assignment and for that I'm grateful.
It sounds like your experience was a lot like mine. I definitely had some frustrating moments, but in the end am very glad that I had the chance to work through all of this stuff. I also re did several things, looked back through instructions many times, and looked up videos. It's a good reminder of what some of our students go through while trying to figure out new material.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are being proactive and seeking out how to do things that aren't immediately evident. While I don't think it's bad to struggle a bit and discover how to do things, I also don't want you get frustrated and give up. So if you want help with anything, you know you can ask, right? Even just a phone call might be all you need.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to move weeks around, you can just turn on editing and then click the little 4-arrow icon by the name and drag where you want it to go.
