    1. What in the World is Moodle Anyway? Brian Pool Technology Coordinator National Trail LSD

    3. Short and sweet… FREE software that connects teachers with students and their parents. Students are connected…we need to connect with them! Make you own…use my guide. Our Moodle Server

    4. Moodle is broken down into Resources and Activities Resources are things to see, read, view, explore… Activities are things to do (and there are a lot!) All the ways these are used in a Moodle course are up to your imagination!

    5. Resources Links to other websites Internal Moodle webpages Documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoints, pdf…) Pictures Videos Online File Directories Anything you want them to see.

    6. Activities Assignments Blogs Journals Podcasts Audio Recorder VodCasts Wiki Webquest Choice Quizzes (Tests) Chat Surveys

    7. Assignments 3 Types - Upload, online submissions, offline Allow parents access to student assignments Allow teachers to see if assignments are turned in on time or not (if online or upload) Allows for paper or non paper generated assignments.

    8. Journals Are simply online writing journals that can be used in a number of ways… Class Lab Journals – to give students a place to keep class work and observations. Writing Journals – writing to write! Keeps each students entries together. Allows teacher to keep all journal entries for a class together in one place! Example Journal

    9. Blogs We have blogging enabled but no one is currently using is. Must teachers seem to prefer a forum with more guided discussion.

    10. Podcasts Allow student generated casts to be shared via the web. New Students Projects that promote collaboration or independent projects. Example. Allow for teacher recorded lessons to be posted. Example. Daily or weekly school announcements. Example. There are other free alternatives but through Moodle no outside account or additional setups are required!

    11. Audio Recorder The Opposite of a Podcast! Have your students submit spoken assignments online! Great for a foreign language teacher! Only works with Internet Explorer.

    12. Vodcasts A great new idea for student projects. Weekly News Broadcasts Teachers can record lessons and post them. Record Smartboard lessons. Record with webcam Record Screen Capture Lessons with Media Encoder. Allow Students to review and repeat lessons online at workstation.

    13. Wiki Wiki is a collaboration document that allows multiple users to edit (like wikipedia) What is a wiki video. Uses in education… 1 2 3 There are more…

    14. Webquests What is a WebQuest? A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. Tens of thousands of teachers have embraced WebQuests as a way to make good use of the internet while engaging their students in the kinds of thinking that the 21st century requires. All the parts of a “traditional” webquest are integrated into the Moodle module. Example

    15. Choices Like a one question survey Let students choose what chapter they want to cover next. Let students select topics for class projects. example another example

    16. Quizzes & Tests Create online quizzes/tests Multiple choice True/false Short answer Essay Matching Can Import from most other testbanks. Fully customizable. Great Data!

    17. Chat Allows for open discussion during class. Students can help each other You can monitor it (in real time) and later in the logs. NO outside guests or students outside your groups. Open discussion outside of class.

    18. Surveys/Feedback Customizable survey Can be anonymous Results can be private or viewable Examples Student feedback Staff feedback

    19. Grades Grades can be maintained as a sole online grading tool. We use it instead of other options 5-12 Alternative to products like Progress Book. Basics Students can see their grades Parents can access grades. Customization was our key to success! Interim Reports. Upload to DASL

    20. Why Moodle? It is an amazing tool to give any teacher. Its only limitation is the imagination of the teacher using it. It is FREE…but it requires someone to administer/make it in the first place. How to on our Moodle Site!
