Hi everyone.
I'm a secondary teacher in an school of Madrid. As well as I'm the TIC coordinator from my school.
For this summer my principal told me to learn about Moodle to make a Moodle site for the school. In the first quarter I'll have to teach the other teachers how to use Moodle, so I don't have too much time. I'll be very grateful of your help.
Thanks a lot
Gonzalo
Hi Gonzalo
Welcome to the world of Moodle!
Open University uses it as an online learning environment, so why shouldn't we too?
To get a feel of Moodle, feel free to roam around my Moodle site:
http://scm.moodleace.com
Username: student
Password: moodle
My ongoing courses are at:
http://scm.moodleace.com/course/view.php?id=19 (Intensive English)
http://scm.moodleace.com/course/view.php?id=9 (Information Technology)
http://scm.moodleace.com/course/view.php?id=8 (Desktop Publishing)
If you have a music teacher in your school, you can show her/him this compilation that I did on my Moodle site. A tribute to the late, great, Victor Borge:

Hi Gonzalo,
For http://scm.moodleace.com, I've created a user ID and password for you. I've already emailed it to your gmail account.
What next after looking through the various courses on MoodleAce.com?
I suppose you could also sign up for a free Moodle account from one of the many free hosting providers mentioned in this post:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=146897
The other option is to sign up for a low-cost shared hosting plan where you can install Moodle on your own using either Fantastico or CPanel. Downside is that you may have to buy your own domain name (e.g, www.gonzaloreina.com) and spend some money for the hosting. Maybe your school can sponser the hosting (you have to talk to your Principal). The good news is that way you can have your own Moodle site as a test and learning site. You can install your own third-party activities to extend the functionality of the standard
Moodle. However, you may find the shared hosting option slow due to Moodle being quite resource hungry and that shared hosting is not the way to go for a medium Moodle class size.
All the BEST in your Moodle quest and adventure.

Hi Frankie,
Hi Gonzalo, I am sure Frankie's msg would be great help but here is a link of our LMS www.lms.nust.edu.pk you can click on the lms portal link and click on the Tutorial link (in green)
hope it helps.

Bassam The LMS design is very nice. Like the colours.
However, there is no green link "Tutorial" - only "Training". Clicking on that link invokes a login screen.....
Hi Gonzalo,
Miriam Laidlaw's Adventures in Moodle, Mahara and Sloodle website http://moodlelair.posterous.com/
has some good Moodle resources for teachers.

All the sites you are telling me are very nice. I need sometime to visit them and learn things about moodle and to think about the implemantation in my school
