10. Why the push for online learning?
We are a 1:1 school.

11. Why the push for online learning?
It is the way students will
learn at the next phase of their
education

13. It takes a village to raise a child:
Our students will not
be educated by
teachers working in
isolation.

14. Many teachers have come to the conclusion
that their job is not just difficult—it is
impossible. If schools continue to operate
according to traditional assumptions and
practices, we would concur with that
conclusion. Individual teachers working in
isolation as they attempt to help all of their
students achieve at high levels will
eventually be overwhelmed by the tension
between covering the content and
responding to the diverse needs of their
students in a fixed amount of time with
virtually no external support.

15. These are our kids:
These are my kids, my room, and my materials”—must give
way to a new paradigm of “These are our kids, and we cannot
help all of them learn what they must learn without a
collective effort.”
“The idea that a single teacher, working alone, can know and
do everything to meet the diverse learning needs of 30
students every day throughout the school year has rarely
worked, and it certainly won’t meet the needs of learners in
years to come” (Carroll, 2009, p. 13).
Jonathan Saphier (2005) was exactly correct when he
wrote, “The success of our students is our joint
responsibility, and when they succeed, it is to our joint credit
and cumulative accomplishment” (p. 28).

16. Old School Teaching and Learning
We used to do
this in the
1950’s.
Hopefully we
don’t do it now!!

student owes and what work is due in next?

The LG Teacher (No)
The Year Level Leader (No)
The Assistant Principal (No)
The Principal (No)
The Student Welfare team (No)

teachers used to working this way.

• We don’t work in isolation.

21. Moodle Tip 1: No Student Planner
Mantra from all of us.
Students need to check 3 places everyday.
1. Eworkspace
2. Moodle
3. Email (via Outlook)
Encourage them to set up school email on their
phones.
Moodle pushes feedback via email. (Have you
noticed?)
Set up courses on Moodle to push out
communication LG’s, Activities, groups.

22. Moodle Tip 2:
 Use Progress Bars on your courses.

23. Moodle Tip 2:
 Use Progress Bars on your courses. Why? Cause they work.
 We asked our Year 8’s “What helps you keep up to date with your work?

25. Moodle Tip 2:
Standard Right Side of all courses.
1. Top Right Progress Bar
2. Upcoming Events
3. Calendar

26. Moodle Tip 3: Purpose of Online
Assessment Results
Online assessment should work as a
student/parent self-monitoring tool.
Students should be able to look at the online
grade book and have it give them two
things.
1. Feedback on tasks already completed.
2. An indication of any tasks that have not
been completed.
Gaps in the grade book should indicate work
that needs to be submitted.

27. Moodle Semester 2:
Hide or reset Semester 1 courses.
Do not run whole year courses. Start
a new course for semester 2.
Hide almost everything in your course
to start with.
Have a category in your grade book
called. “Not used yet” and move
everything into it. Hide it.
Keep it simple to begin with!!

28. Super Moodlers
The best source of Moodle
help/PD is in a staffroom not
“far, far away”.
