Research and identify three tools that can be used to aggregate and present learning material, other than the two mentioned in the lesson. Post findings in your blog and include a brief description and the associated costs.
1. Schoology - This is free for instructors. This LMS platform offers a variety of tools that are seemingly user friendly. Badges can be earned, there is a calendar function, a gradebook and document grader, as well as course analytics to be reviewed. After reading some of the success stories, this has been embraced in academies and districts desiring to integrate online platforms. It can also be used at the corporate level for training purposes.
2. Moodle - I used Moodle years ago when my F2F school was starting to incorporate more online options in class. I liked the grading functioning as well as online quizzes I could post. I did not think the layout or color options were appealing. It was pretty user friendly, but others like SoftChalk are more interactive and aesthetically pleasing. It can be downloaded for free.
3. Live Binders - This really is a "live binder"---this is an online organizing tool with the ability to bookmark (or binder labels) categories and place within a variety of items. For education this works for multiple groups --- parents, administrators, course teams, students. It makes sharing and collaborating easier. A basic account is free with options to upgrade.
