Everyday I encounter design and embed issues on teacher's sites. I really wonder because we have a tool, does that mean that every tool should be used. Teachers get a little crazy when we show them every web 2.0 tool that is out there. What we fail to do is check, "Can it really be embedded in Moodle" and "just because it is cool is there a sound educational reason for it"? Not everything embeds well. I hope that we would try it first then question the truly educational impact this tool can have before we add it. Just because we can ...add it... does not mean we should...or even need to. Some teacher pages right now could cause an epileptic seizure.
Is there not a tool already in Moodle that works?
I'm in a Go Digital workshop..interesting as it works in Blogger.com but will it work in Moodle? Here is a tool that could be an education nightmare if we show this to the wrong kid. justin.tv...live streaming TV. I can see an application in education but will it overwhelm the band width and then let's embed it into Moodle and watch it all slow down. We need to think about these things carefully.
