MOODLE

**March 16, 2011 -- **    ** Flex- K-12 -All Faculty - Using Moodle in Your Classroom - Beyond Basics  **  This course is for teachers who have started using Moodle in their classrooms, and would like to get a refresher on the basics, as well as take the next steps to work more efficiently with Moodle. Taught by an Academic Integration Coach and an NPHS teacher currently using Moodle, part of this class will be a guided worksession where instructors help answer your individual questions. The "basics" will also be reviewed, including setting your Moodle up with the look and features you want to use, how to create and customize electronic tests, quizzes, reviews, and student activities, how to make all kinds of documents available to students on-line, how to have students submit work electronically, and how to grade and return student work, all without ever touching a paper. NOTE: Teachers who do not already have a Moodle site must contact Eileen Franklin to have their Moodle set up before taking this course.
