Challenges
• Since I had not used many of these types of social media before, initially it
took me some time to figure out how to use these types of social media.
• I used the tutorials and instructional videos to help me create my accounts
and utilize these types of social media.
• At first I was confused about how to tweet and retweet, but eventually I
learned how to perform these actions.

Moodle and Online Learning
• The online learning setting has really allowed me to expand my
educational knowledge by taking graduate courses!
• As a full-time teacher and coach, it would be difficult and exhausting
to drive to a graduate school classroom and spend hours there each
week!
• With the online learning environment, I can participate in the course
and complete my work when it is convenient for me, no matter what
time of day it is or where I am located.
• Moodle is very user-friendly and easy to navigate!
