Create 4.1.3 Aggregating Lesson Material

Edmodo - This is a free way for students and teachers to come together and collaborate.  Students typically prefer edmodo due to the fact that it functions much like the other social media that they are used to.  Also, teachers and students can store a wide array of digital content including pictures, podcasts, videos, projects, and more.

Moodle - This is a learning management system (LMS) or platform that allows you to build courses, lessons, and student-centered activities for free.  I was trained on Moodle a few years ago but have never had the chance to use it in an online course or a traditional setting.

Haiku Learning - This site is a good learning management system.  Teachers can create their own classroom pages, add and organize content blocks, change layouts, and publish them whenever they are ready.  You can create your own content simply by using the third-party services that are involved with Haiku.  However, Haiku is not a free site for the full version.  Teachers are free for up to five classes with 2GB of storage but you can upgrade for a fee.  For a school or school district, depending on how many users there are, there is a free trial, but after that it is anywhere from five to ten dollars.
