Interesting Question Bank Filtering feature due in Moodle 4.3.

Under development by my colleague Mark Johnson at Catalyst EU. I had admired Catalyst for well over 10 years before I joined and feel very fortunate to be working with such creative and talented people.

If you have a moodle issue and you want to know if it is something with your setup or if it is Moodle itself, you can test against a vanilla “no plugins” Moodle at
https://sandbox.moodledemo.net

At the moment it offers Moodle versions 4.2, 4.1 and 3.11
You can login with various levels of access such as teacher, manager and student.

From P475
"Dispiritingly and despite the intensive reliance on technology for education
during the COVID-19 pandemic, there remain, in many countries, no public
content options for public education on the internet."

Moodlenet is gaining additional interesting features in the soon to be released Moodle 4.3 so I hope it will start to help address some of these issues.

I have moved on from "This is good", to this is essential reading for anyone interested in this area.

It is not an article, or blog post it is a freely downloadable pdf of a 664 page book. It significantly addresses the issue of of ed-tech solutionism. Still reading it...

'ze bouwen de software, maar hoe deze wordt ingezet, dat is aan de school. De onderwijsvisie bepaalt welke vinkjes je aan- of uitzet. Daar zit precies het probleem; de school heeft hier vaak geen visie op.'

Maar nog belangrijker voor het platformbedrijf is iets anders, denkt @remcopijpers van Kennisnet: ‘Kinderen worden zo heel subtiel grootgebracht tot Google-consumenten. Via het publiek betaalde onderwijs.’

: What is digital literacy? Digital literacy uses technology to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information. How does #cyber fit into digital literacy? In an ever-increasing digital world, one must be knowledgeable and safe with online actions. At T-ATP, we’re teaching #k12 students just that - to be safe online along with being cyber leaders. #educationpolicy #education #educationleadership #cybersecurity #nonprofit #nced #ncpol #digitalequity #educationequity #techforgood #edtech

⭐ We value the Golden Rule!

But we also realize there are many things affecting us and our resilience that are not easily controlled.

External factors include biology, environment, life experiences, and available resources.

🕯️ We strive to help young people foster skills shown to make them more resilient. Our nonprofit's free resilience-building games aim to do that.

These games might even help young people become adults who also value the Golden Rule.

Well, I have a new reading list to go thru for the use of #AI in #edtech! I think others will find this useful too! #education

Check out Wes Hall's aDOORable space outside his classroom.

The display was inspired by Paula Frank's bulletin board:
