About Moodle – Educating Her World

I’ve been using Moodle for classroom purposes since about 2006. I find that Moodle is a great way to provide content for students that is interactive and easy to get to. I’ve used moodle with Middle School, High School, University, and Teacher Training courses. It’s a great way to expand access to content for students.

Recently I have had several people ask me about how to host Moodle sites for their school or classroom. Depending on the budget many teachers will buy their own server space to host a Moodle site. This also requires the purchase of a domain name .

If you are a teacher just looking for a way to get your own Moodle site, for free, without having to pay hosting fees or register a domain name, I highly recommend Key to School. Key to School ( http://www.keytoschool.com/ ) offers free Moodle site hosting for educational purposes. If you already have a domain name you can even point your domain name at a Moodle hosted on their site. If you don’t have a domain name you can register for a subdomain on their site (Your url will look like yourname.moodlehub.com).If you are looking for a simple Moodle host with basic functions, theme availability, an up-to-date install, and most operational functions, you can’t go wrong.
