2008+Session+-+Using+Moodle+to+Teach+Today's+Learner

Using Moodle to Teach Today's Learner** Moodle is a Virtual Learning Environment that can be used to extend your classroom. Moodle will allow you to add many more teaching tools into your classroom such as the ability for students to have conversations online create a course glossary, upload assignments, and access to many other modules. Moodle is open-source software so there is a low cost to setting up a Moodle server at your school or even one for your class. Learn from 2 Language Arts teachers who are using Moodle to extend their student learning beyond the 48 minute class, and a Digital Learning Coordinator who will explain the ins and outs of setting up Moodle for your school. You will see how teachers are using Discussion Forums, Wikis, Glossaries, Journals and other activities to engage their students.
