My First Technology Conference Presentation!

This Saturday, May 21st, I will be presenting at a technology conference at the Ventura County Office of Education. The topic of my presentation is Moodle, which is an online content management system, which basically means a website that allows it's users to interact with the site. Moodle is an education focused, open source software, that came out in the early 2000's. The beauty of Moodle is that is allows a teacher to have a robust online experience for his or her students and it is all secured or password protected. Each student has an account and the data base that is associated with the program keeps track of that users experience with the program.

So... there's a basic description of what Moodle is. I am sure I could write a novel trying to explain the program and all of it's great uses. For more info on Moodle, the best place to go is the Moodle website (http://www.moodle.org).

Now, back to this conference I'll be speaking at! I am pretty excited because this is the first time that I will have ever presented at a conference. Of course there is a bit of nervousness that goes along with it, but that kind of energy is good energy, because it will motivate me to make sure I have a great presentation set up. So, enough of this blog post, I need to get to my presentation...

I'll let you know how it went next week!
