Here's the whole post. You have to login to Moodle.org to read the thread. This discussion thread, kicked off by master moodle teacher Art Lader, is something any e-learning educator should read.

The Internet is booming with new read-write web tools everyday. Knowing what tools to use, why you should take on learning something
new, and finding ways these tools can be used in concert can be pretty confusing. When would I use a blog? Why would I use
Moodle? Do I use a wiki or Google Docs? How do I choose? Do I use it

tools have emerged that can enhance student learning by taking some
established best practices in education to the next level making it
easier, faster, and more fun to learn.
Moodle Tutorials ::: Educating Educators
This is a relatively new resource that I've jut re-discovered. The best part of working with video tutorials is the ability to start, stop, and replay key sequences. The down side of producing video tutorials is they take a long time to create and can be made obsolete when there's a new edition. Our Moodle runs the most current edition of Moodle 1.9 hosted by Moodlerooms.

Introduction to Google Forms | Matt Silverman
This is a very smart solution for online forms. The article details how to create online forms with google. Best of all the results are dropped into a spreadsheet. A great solution for my moodle class signup process.

Google recently released a revolutionary gem into its increasingly robust Google Docs platform. Meet Google Forms: a flexible form and survey development interface with built-in reporting. Why is this significant? Well to start, it means the days of SurveyMonkey are numbered. While still in its infancy, Google Forms is the start of an incredibly versatile data collection framework. How long did SurveyMonkey really think people were going to pay monthly fees to store infinitesimal tidbits of survey response data? Survey data is far from being difficult, nor costly, to store.
