More Moodle twitter accounts

Like many of you, I’m using twitter a lot more these days and I often search for tweets containing the word moodle to find out what Moodlers worldwide are up to.

Yesterday I set up a few more Moodle community sites twitter accounts. Thus, the full list is now:

• twitter.com/moodle – Moodle news including Moodle Buzz and Planet Moodle developer news, plus useful posts in Using Moodle
• twitter.com/moodledev – Moodle CVS commit messages
• twitter.com/moodlesecurity – Moodle security announcements and other security advice
• twitter.com/moodleplugins – new entries to the Moodle modules and plugins database
• twitter.com/moodlethemes – new entries to the Moodle themes database and other themes news
• twitter.com/moodlejobs – Moodle-related jobs offered and wanted

There’s also my own twitter account, twitter.com/moodlehelen, in which I tweet about news from all the Moodle community sites.

Moodle twitter

It seems that an increasing number of people are twittering about Moodle! TweetMeme, a twitter links aggregation service, have set up a Moodle channel moodle.tweetmeme.com for following all the latest Moodle tweets.

As mentioned previously, useful forum posts are shared via twitter.com/moodle. If you’re interested in Moodle development, you may wish to follow twitter.com/moodledev. I use twitter.com/moodlehelen to tweet about Moodle community news.

If you’re into twitter, why not edit your profile on moodle.org and add your twitter ID and the twitter tag as an interest.

If you can’t manage to attend one of our upcoming MoodleMoots, you can always get live news reports instead by monitoring the event’s hash tag!

Oklahoma MoodleMoot

I’ve just returned from a wonderful week at the Oklahoma MoodleMoot where I met many amazing people. The Moot was special in that there were lots of new Moodlers, so the hands-on sessions were particularly popular. It was great to be able to talk with new Moodlers about their first impressions of Moodle.

There were plenty of MoodleMoot OK tweets, and as a result I decided that I should begin twittering too – see twitter.com/moodlehelen.

A big thank you to everyone for making the Oklahoma MoodleMoot such a success, especially Matt Campbell for his superb organisation and Metro Technology Centers for hosting the event.
