A few weeks ago, a Social Media Cheat Sheet was doing the round. A nice visualization of the pro’s & cons of each social media channel, but with a business/marketing focus. I thought I should do one for social media use in education. However for most of the teachers I work with, our Moodle (EIT Online) is still their primary online teaching environment. So instead I set out to create this poster size guide for teachers, allowing them to compare the functionality and pedagogical advantages of some standard Moodle tools, adding a column to indicate how tricky the tool is to set up.

  5. Great job. if you authorize me, could you translate into Spanish? respecting all the credits and then sending you a copy.
    Excuse my English, I assure you that the translation would make a professional translator ;-)
    Thanks in advance.

  6. Awesome. Fantastic for Moodle development sessions at school, or just a quick ready reckoner. Thanks for sharing!

  7. Hi Joyce – Donna just put me on to this! Brilliant… can we print it out and give it to staff?

  8. Hi Jean, yes please! That’s exactly why I’ve created it – make all of our jobs a little easier (edtechs & teachers). It’s under creative commons license and I’ve designed it for A3 size.

  9. Hi Jose, oh I’d be honoured to have it translated. You MUST send me a copy though! I’ll email you :-)

  10. Thanks for compliment, Jason!

  11. My pleasure Rheinard!

  12. You are too kind Jonesytheteacher & all! I’m pretty pleased with it myself, as one of our teachers just setting out in technology, saw it on my desk and immediately grabbed a copy. So it’s doing what it’s supposed to do :-)

  13. This is really helpful. Thank you for creating it.

  14. brilliant – online pedagogy for the right brainers! finally!!!

  17. Excellent! Thank you Joyce for producing this, just tweeted to all & sundry about this :-)

    Is it OK to include this as a resource at Teaching & Learning with Moodle course at Moodle.org ? Let me know please, Twitter DM probably best.

    Regards

  18. Excellent sheet. Our teachers will definitely benefit by this tool. Thanks for sharing.

  19. Hi Joyce! This is great – would you perhaps consider making it (or the source file(s)) available under a Creative Commons License, so that those of us with custom Moodle installs (or who would like to localise the language or phraseology) could modify it? No problem if not!
    Nice one!
    Ian.

  20. May I get the source file to create a German translation?

  21. Thank you for the job you have done of developing this great tool.
    Can I be allowed to translate it into Norwegian, and share it out to the teachers in our schools?
    I work as the ICT co-ordinator between four municipalities in Norway and we are using Moodle in 20 primary schools. http://pdl.asp-hedmark.no/

  23. Fantastic work indeed, Joyce! Now that the academic year is over, I have some time to (finally!) work out a project for implementing Moodle at our department – this is certainly a resource I’ll share with my colleagues. Thanks a billion for the hard work!

  27. Ms. Seitzinger
    I am so happy to found you and your blog. Your/this resource tool is incredible and I would love to share it with my fellow Moodle using teachers.

    Thank you

  28. Very nicely done. Thanks for developing. I’m giving a copy to my principal!

  29. Very nice! Would you consider distributing the “source code” (the file in the original format)? That would make it much easier to translate. I would like to translate it into portuguese.

  30. great stuff Joyce! (hate to think how long it took you to do)

  34. Joyce, I am in the process of developing a moodle course for Judaic Studies educators and trainers. May I include your chart in my course in the glossary? If so, kindly let me know how you wish to be cited. Thank you so much. The highest compliment a teacher can receive is the praise from another seasoned professional. You have my praise. Richard
