MOOCs, blogs and WIKIs

OK, having been to a fascinating session at Bedford University regarding the Creative Use of Digital Technologies in Education and meeting some very interesting and inspiring people, I am playing at building a MOOC.

Now, it seems to me that where I anticipated some specific software like Moodle', it is simply a use of  several available technologies which I would feel needs a front end which is accessible and attractive.  This could be managed via a fairly simple Dreamweaver page.  Links could take the user to Blog and Wiki entries and then hopefully lead them onward to more in depth information before returning to specific areas with a contribution such as a blog or WIKI entry, photos on flickr, video on youtube and posts on a facebook page - tweets on twitter.

If anyone has any hints and tips to put me on the right trail, they will be welcomed most warmly.

A Great Day’s Training!!!

Triple woooo hoooo! Just been out with my girls. After consultation with our illustious and long suffering leader (Yeah Gaynor Gent !) I walked the Mollster round and threw her dummy (sadly, cap gun broke so had to shout!) then walked acrosss the field (ie through the long grass, not on a track) for about 1/3 the length and sent her back. Straight there and straight back :) dropped a dummy there, didn't point it out but she probably noticed, then walked an extra 100 yards again through long grass and crossing a track. Sent her back and off she went. She turned down the track briefly then turned to ask and a 'back' sent her off, straight to the area and straight back :) Teasle then, had a dummy over the fence. I did have to get grumpy and throw her over but she eventually jumped back. Two more goes got her jumping straight over and straight back woo hoo!! Then a memory mark up the track but in cover and last of all another memory mark with a sit. Still slow on the sit but getting better. Then it was the Bramling's turn. I used a track, dropeed 2 dummies which she saw and walked a long way along the track. Sent her straight back and off she went, delivering the dummy really well. We walked another 100 yards and I sent her back again. She did stop to ask (and I fforgot to blow the whistle at that point) but then she went and came straight back. I then turned and threw the dummy further and turned and walked back along the track and over another track and past our original point. When I truned to send her I realised that it was at least as far as Molly had gone - but along a track. I sent her back and then stopped her. She turned slowly but sat down as soon as she had turned around. Best Day Ever!!!!!
