We just got back from a week camping with the entire family. Spending time together is wonderful! We then went over to Spokane as a family and worked on one of our rental properties. What's interesting is that I think working together as a family is just as much of a bonding time as vacationing. In some ways, it's probably even better. (I'm not sure my daughters would agree...)
I got back and spent last night messing around with the Moodle assignment. I think it's definitely something I'm going to use, although I'm still not confident that I'm doing things correctly and I'm sure I haven't even begun to even scratch the surface of what a Moodle is capable of doing. (The learning curve seems a bit steeper than with some of the other things we've done.) I'm hoping to use it mostly as a way of sharing information about my classes, i.e. a separate one for each of my classes where class assignments will be posted and other pertinent information about what's going on in the class. My main hesitation is my ability to keep it up to date.
On a separate note, my youngest daughter and I had a fun time updating my 'My Space' page. She definitely improved it! Both of my girls thought it was a good thing for a teacher to have. Their thoughts were that it's a non-threatening way for kids to contact instructors, that kids don't really like to email their teachers directly, but that doing it via My Space would work well.

Moodle is definitely more substantial than anything else yet. It's an application with many functions and parts. For instance, blogger is just a blog ... Moodle HAS a blog as one of it's functions (albeit not as nice as blogger). It's also extremely customizable which adds to the learning curve.
I like the idea of using the MySpace as a way for students to contact their teachers - that's a great argument for having a MySpace!
