Moodle is a program that our school has...Hello all,<br />Moodle is a program that our school has set up for teachers that are interested to use for free. I know there are some Moodle accounts that cost or they use to. I have taken several courses on it and had at one time set up a Moodle page to hopefully teach an art class online to jrs. and srs. at the high school. I had found they could take test, post comments and upload pictures of work they had done. When I got it all set up the school technology people said well we need to look into some more because we are not sure we can schedule it for the students to take it online and still receive credit. It has never gotten started. There is a teacher at the high school that uses Moodle for his Health Science class for nursing students. He likes it and really feels the school has dropped the ball in not pushing it forward with more teachers. I am glad that you have found it interesting and I hope you can use it.karen floodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302440739580015519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613634044642787307.post-84301277837783660442010-09-19T18:43:21.041-05:002010-09-19T18:43:21.041-05:00Karen,
The two goals that you chose to improve on...Karen, <br />The two goals that you chose to improve on will be very beneficial to your students. When we find various ways differentiate our instruction and assessments, it allows each and every student to have an opportunity to touch on their learning strength. Also, by achieving yoru goals, you will bcome a better teacher which once again in turn will lead to an increased student achievment. Good luck!Karl Loomishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869771694327199735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613634044642787307.post-80508919544128713632010-09-19T10:30:46.281-05:002010-09-19T10:30:46.281-05:00Hi Karen,

Thanks to you, I think I can easily use it with mine as well. These tools that we're learning about can really make our students independent and put them in the driver's seat of what they're learning. Have you used it before? If so, can you describe what you did and how it worked? If not, do you have a plan yet on how you will use it? You mentioned having your students download work and post comments- do your students without computer access at home have any problems doing this within the school day in a computer lab? That's always my biggest concern because of course, we want all our students to be able to take part in these activities. Hopefully, even those without computers at home can meet the technology requirements at school.Meghenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366063350533447162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613634044642787307.post-39092188797099329342010-09-18T21:23:43.243-05:002010-09-18T21:23:43.243-05:00Karen,

I think this would be a great learning experience for all. Also, I have heard of MOODLE, but have never used it before. If you use this program, please let me know how it works for you.<br /><br />Jeannine LoweJLowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151348921985851074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613634044642787307.post-46005163794601928422010-09-18T19:50:02.460-05:002010-09-18T19:50:02.460-05:00Karen,

I teach computer applications, and I am always looking for new projects to assess the students on content. I feel that I am always using the same projects over and over. I have gotten many new ideas from the courses we have taken and from the sites that we have been introduced to. I had not heard of MOODLE. Thank you for the information. I will look into the site.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154027139873209363noreply@blogger.com
