Moodle vs. D2L vs. Blackboards

After splitting up into groups and researching the different options of programs that are currently available for a classroom to use, I am now very informed about different types of programs such as Moodle, Blackboads, and D2L. I found that it is much more efficient and realistic to use Moodle because it is simple and free. It allows more options for customizing, specifically for your classroom. D2L is would be my second choice because it is cheaper than Blackboard, although Blackboard has more features. Personally, I have the most experience with D2L, simply because it is the current program that St. Cloud State University is using. I think it is very simple to use and operate, so I would consider using it in my classroom. The last one was Blackboard, I would love to have one in the classroom but with the amounts of funding teachers are limited to, I don't think it is very realistic to get one in your classroom. Overall, I thought it was interesting to learn about the differences between the three programs.
