Show Me!

So, I think pictures speak louder than words. Here is what one of my Moodle pages looks like and what I can do with it. Comments welcome!

I am starting to feel more comfortable with Moodle. I have been able to simulate coloured backgrounds and give my pages a better look due to PowerPoint 2010. It allows me to take text boxes, add a background colour and then put pictures on top. If I use the "group" feature it turns into a single entity. Then I can save as picture and upload it to Moodle. I can create many interesting visual effects using this feature. It gives the page a more polished look. I also found some nice pre-made PowerPoint templates on some e-learning sites that allow me to give my page a modern look. Audioboo allows me to record short messages and embed them in the page. I found a program called Photobabble which will allow me to make pictures "talk", but have not used it yet... More later....
