Muddling over Moodle (or…a steep ascent!)
I have spent the better part of today learning about Moodle. I have chosen to try and develop an online version of a Cariboo Gold Rush unit that I do with my grade 5s. I am struggling with the mechanics of Moodle and am still not sure where to post certain types of information. Text page? Web page?…
So much to learn!
I am also struggling a bit with how to utilize some of the great assessment tools that I have developed in an attempt to give students a wide variety of ways for them to show what they know. I am not a teacher who uses quizzes. I am much more likely to have my kids develop a poster, create a skit or write a letter in-role to demonstrate that they understand the challenges of the people that we study in socials. How to deliver this kind of assessment within a course shell format I don’t know. This will obviously require some further research.
