Seeing many familiar names and faces from the Moodle communities on the MOOC Group I just joined on LinkedIn. I am hoping for new information on how to make mobile Moodle faster and more comprehensive since that is what I need to make it useful for me going forward.

A colleague is ready to move to the Phillipines (returning there after 30 years in the USA) and will (given proper time and good fortune) be setting up a Moodle online learning site to help his country add value via online learning. I do not know this from personal experience, but he tells me that the Phillipines lags in online learning substantially behind most other major countries. I wish him well and if he asks for help I shall surely offer it, mostly in the content development area.

iMoot 2012: The "Mini Cooper Moot" LOL

What fun!  Not only has the programme finally been published, but all keynoters have been outed on the site with pictures and everything *:-)

Down below you can see the sessions I plan to attend, but right now I recommend that you take a quick detour (no GPS required) to take a look at one Moodler's collection of vehicles ... he would be fun to ride around with *:-)  Go here to see:

Ok then, look for me in the following sessions, and please say hello:

• Keynote 1: Michelle Moore (a person I believe comes close to Guy Kawasaki level in her ability to enthuse & promote Moodle)
• Google Analytics and Moodler with Bas Brands (Presos by folks from the Nederlands are almost always good)
• Integrating Mahara and Moodle 2 for the ultimate LMS (maybe I can finally figure out how to use Mahara)
• Google Apps - Moodle Integration Possibilities (I just added apps to my personal site, so this is great!)
• Lecture Broadcast and Capture using BigBlueButton (maybe I can finally use this tool)
• Using Moodle in Business (this is the guy with the cars *:-] )
• Mahara: ePortfolio for Moodle users, with Kristina Hoeppner from New Zealand, which is where my wife and I would live if we weren't in California.
• Mahara ePortfolio in Practice, with Sigi Jakob-Kuhn, who imho is a very serious contributor to the Moodle world, and her posts on Twitter send me to Google Translate frequently *:-)
• Sponsor - The FreeMoodle.or project, with the guy with the cars, and a New Zealander *:-)
• Keynote 5 with Das Moodler himself, always genuine and forthcoming about his creation.
• My Moodle Course: An Experiment in Social Constructionism, with Michelle Moore, and a topic that causes much debate among the educators I come in contact with here in California.  Not everybody likes Social Contructionism.
• Then of course there is the mysterious "Session B-31"; how could I not attend such an "MI6" sort of session, eh?
• iMoot wrapup, always fun and relaxing, why not?

See you there.

Great to see tweets and messages from the 2012 iMoot team indicating that "things are on the stove, and beginning to cook" *:-)  Wishing everyone on the iMoot team well, and we appreciate the effort.
