I graduated that night and I am happy to have found this to remember it forever. I'm now able to send the link to my family in Colombia so they can still watch me at my graduation. Thank you so much for making this possible! I was wondering if there was any way to get a hard copy of the ceremony to file in my high school folders. Thanks again for your time, Estefania Perdomo Dear Charlie,

Thanks for a great analysis, Charlie. We receive this question in Chester County often, and you could substitute the words Ning, Wikispace, and a half-dozen other Web 2.0 tools for the word "blog", and it would still be spot-on. I liken Moodle to Microsoft Office (shudder), because it is that "suite" of tools you describe. If someone just wants a word processor, do they need to buy Office as a whole? Not necessarily. Maybe WordPad is enough for them, and that's okay. Moodle is the same way: committing to learning Moodle is about long-term planning for *expansion* of technology in the classroom. A nice post! I'll be back to read more. LM How true this is! Thanks for a great analysis, Charlie.
