I know that we have all been to basic "Moodle" training in the fall, but there have been a lot of upgrades and improvments to the District's Moodle web site. I believe that at the middle school level, we can begin to teach our 8th graders some Moodle basics to get them ready for high school and their new adventure with their own District laptops in the fall. But that doesn't mean that 6th and 7th graders should be excluded from using Moodle. As we move students into the mindset of 21st Century Learners, we need to provide as many opportunites as possible to interact with technology both in the class and in the computer lab. Please watch the video and feel free to leave any comments you may have. I will pass along suggestions during the next tech team meeting at the end of the month. There might be some great ideas to try before the end of the school year - or early next school year.
