2. WHAT IS MOODLE?
Moodle is a free, online Web 2.0
tool that teachers can use to
transform their curriculums
through the easy creation of
online content.

If you cannot use a lot of the tools
that you see presented in
workshops due to filtering policies,
then Moodle will help to safely
overcome those restrictions.
