Hi Soozie,

Sadly I need to point out I was in fact saying that Moodle was NOT a Magic flying Unicorn leading you across a rainbow made of earth shattering new paradigms to set worlds of pedagogical glory.

It is in fact a rather utilitarian Horse drawn cart. The admin can make the cart look fantastic and the teacher is at the front setting the direction and fills the cart with all the cool ideas, activities and resources that they need to. The Moodle horse is powerful enough to take you anywhere you want to go, but just how exciting and useful your cart is up to the driver. The direction you take is up to the driver. The pedagogy used comes not from the horse...but the driver.

Plus, Admins who restrict how the cart can be used, the direction it can travel and the speed in which they are allowed to use it are often the biggest stalling points on the journey.

Trust me..the analogy made more sense if you came to the session.

I always thought it was more this

I see Moodle this way - there's too much i want to do with it!

^_^

and yes, it has cupcakes and rainbows too

beeautiful! Cant wait. ( although there should also be a Tardis, a firefly and at least one enterprise flying in the background too)
