I have already seen the benefits of making the classroom a community through technology. The community can be broadened by connecting more than one class. Through the Moodle website for my classes, student work is posted and other students can view and comment on the work. It is also helpful for students who are unclear about an assignment to view others then take off on their own. Kids feel comfortable and confident having this resource.
