So, I have started to work on my Moodle site. I have to say….I am very excited!<\/p>\n
I love the support provided on the Moodle site. I have been able to spend some time perusing other ideas on the demo site and I have changed my mind on the course content for my Moodle 3 times! At first, I thought it would be smart to create my moodle site based on something that I already know a great deal about. So, I started with Shakepeare for my Grade 7 English class. Then, I got this great brainstorm that I would use it as a means of communicating with the parents of my students on all the TAG (Teacher Advisory Group) things that we are working on.<\/p>\n
My latest change is a bit of a breakthrough… Once I sat down and took a deep breath, I thought about what I would really like to use Moodle for. What can it add? My Shakespeare Unit for Grade 7 is already great. It is student-centered, requires critical thinking skills, has an element of fun, and I created it collaboratively with another teacher with Assessment for<\/em> Learning principles in mind. So, why the heck was I reinventing that wheel? What area of my classroom have I wanted to revamp, revitalize, or redo? And then it hit me! Current Events is the one area I really feel is lacking in my classroom. It has always been something I talked about, but never really had time for.<\/p>\n So, with the help of a few Moodle tutorials, I think I am on my way to creating a Current Events site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I have started to work on my Moodle site.
