Can you teach me Moodle?

So, yesterday I posted links to two articles that argue the focus of EdTech conferences needs to be on good pedagogy that can be aided by technology, and not the technology itself.

In this same line of reasoning, here’s Tomaz Lasic’s take on supporting teachers’ use of Moodle in their curriculum:

Too often we approach teaching of things like software applications with a “these are the features, click here, click there…” and then leave it to people’s imagination how they are going to use it. Doing so, we tend to break one of the most important rules of communication – we make it about the software not about the people. We own the information, they merely borrow it.

Well said.
