Simply Exhausted
But exceedingly satisfied.
I have worked for months building the content for my moodle site. I have gone into moodle to verify that my plans were possible (the survey function caught me off guard in the end) and set the daunting task of uploading the content into the LMS this past week.
It was strange not working on the content at the same time as the development of activities. For me, they typically go hand in hand. This strategy allowed for me to work in a more organic flow, until that came crashing down while I learned to make it look the way I wanted in moodle. After all of the struggles and numerous triumphs, I am happily going to be the night before the assignment is due knowing that I have done everything I can to be successful. When I flip through the site, while proud, I am also surprised at the disporportion between what I feel I have learned about online learning (you are writing as you’re facilitating/instructing) and the product. It seems that in creating these pages I learned so much from basic HTML to how to record and youtube my slide presentation from Keynote. Incredible.
Tomorrow: synthesize four months of notes on my experience, but for tonight, BED.
