It is funny how we know things about ourselves, but can easily forget them.

I have been very excited, christmas morning excited, to see the Moodle shell. I have never seen one before. Since I have started MET, and this being my first course, I have felt like I am an explorer walking around in the wilderness, looking for my path…..Moodle. I know there are some in this course who know this path well, I am not one of them. By the end of this course, I will be able to say other wise.

I went to the link we were given.

I changed my password and I held my breath as I waited for something amazing to pop up on the screen before me.

When it did, the christmas morning excitement was rushed out by a gust of absolute terror.

I was certain of two things. I had no idea what I was looking at, nor did I know how I was going to use it to create my entrance into the world of websites.

The moment passed. I exhaled. I have looked through the tool kit quickly, getting a sense of what is in it- sorting into two lists. The first , things I already know. The second, things I need to google. Guess which one is longer?

Bottom line is that this terrifying blank Moodle, glaring back at me, daring me to use to its full potential, is why I am here. And I am excited to see this ugly page go through the transformation that I have in mind.

I know there are others in this course in a similar situation as me. And those who aren’t, well, they were at some point. This is my calm.

Stay tuned.

Cheers.
