Navigate 3.2.1 Tools for Deciding on an LMS Quest

Deciding on an LMS would be difficult.  There are many restraints and considerations to take into account.  Each level of education would require different elements.  One main issue all levels would have to address is cost.  Many systems do not have the luxury of sinking a lot of money into an LMS. If a system is required to use a free system then some options would naturally be eliminated.  I am an educator primarily at the upper elementary level.  For students at this level, I feel like providing them an LMS that is visually appealing and easy to navigate would be important.  Making the page simple and providing areas for both students and parents would be beneficial.   Communication is key and providing multiple ways to interact with both parents and students should be valued by a system when looking for an LMS.
