EdTech Assesments

#1 - Moodle The premise of Moodle would be to allow educators to facilitate hybrid, in-class, or online teaching all within access and control of themselves and their institution. The University of Guam uses Moodle to facilitate in nearly all online class material. As it is already paid for by student fees, it seems feasible that keeping up with the software and web material would be appropriate. It allows students access to secure material given by their instructors and only that secure element. Instructors are able to control their class material allowing access only during a window if time or even block access to some material until some previous material has been submitted or checked off. The possibilities for the embeddable material are only limited to the instructor's cache of information and what they need to share with their students.

Code Fred: Reflection Prose

Sometimes, they stay for a short while and leave, like most responsible visitors on vacation. But others for some reason choose to stay just because they found it easy and readily available to survive in. Living spaces that can accommodate their needs, an abundance of their favorite foods, a fairly untouched market with no competitors, it is the perfect place to start a new life. Now, to draw the line between humans and nonhuman organisms, there must be a definition as to what part of the island community they are visiting. But fortunately, instead of delving into the politics of immigration, this narrative will delve into some subjects of introduced and invasive species. As I have stated above, introduced species following that analogy as “permanent visitors” find their way into the...
