Meant to do this but was so busy at the Convention that I never got around
to it. Since this is one of those rare times that I'm on the island on
an off-shift, I thought I would check it out. Great job by all involved!

Along with one other graduate student, I have been chosen educational

participation of so many educators who have taken part in my virtual

Thank you one and all!

Today was an interesting lesson. I had a little frustration at first as I
tried to connect my moodle to the sloodle set, but once I was able to
figure out the process things became easy. The second time around when I
came back and created my activity I was able to move much more quickly
through the notecard and activation process. This was pretty cool to be
able to master this skill. I am very excited for what is in store for the
remaining two lessons. Lots of fun!

It was good to know a bit about Sloodle's affordances (i.e. Lesson 1) before
studying the mechanics of setting it up (i.e. Lesson 3). The instructions in
the notecard were easy to follow. I look forward to linking more activites.
Then I will bring my ALT in-world to test them.
