Some extras thoughts on Moodle -
If you want to do a Moodle get district support and work closely with technical support or have a Moodle Partner
Can be used for a variety of settings - businesses (staff development)
Can be small with one teacher and a few students or much bigger than that
This Podcast is pretty long and detailed. Miguel and Diana share Planning Stages and Guidelines for creating a Moodle. If you don't have the time to listen to the podcast, there are several links suggested on the Classroom 2.0 site about Moodle.
