2. What’s a Moodle?
An Interactive Class website
A modern way to deliver information to students
in a way they can relate to
An EASY way for teachers to get immediate
feedback
But most importantly
A safe place for students to learn, create their
own content, and share that content with each
other and their teacher
3. Why does it work?
Because kids are already online and surprisingly,
They want something to do while they’re there.
Online assignments don’t feel like “school”
4. And…
They WANT to be creative
They WANT to manipulate information
They WANT to show off what they’ve done
They WANT to connect with teachers in a
modern way
Moodle allows them to do that in a SAFE and
CONTROLLED environment
5. Finally…
Technology allows for those kids who may go
“unnoticed” to thrive.
It also allows them to take an active role in their
education.
6. This sounds complicated.
It’s not.
In fact, it’s incredibly simple once you get going.
The kids already know how to do almost
everything in the Moodle. It’s the teachers who
are intimidated.
7. So why should I ask my
teachers to spend time
learning this program?
8.
9. Because if your teachers
are getting comfortable….
Then your students are getting bored
12. And which would you
prefer today?
Me standing in front of you and lecturing the
whole time?
Or
You actually having an opportunity to take some
control of your experience?
13. When they get to work with
their hands and their
minds…
There’s a much better chance they’re going to
remember it.
14. This isn’t technology for the
sake of technology…
It’s technology for the sake of our kids
15. And just between you and
I…
It actually makes the teachers job easier.
Much
Much
Easier
It’s true.
16. They just have to get past
one major obstacle…
FEAR OF TECHNOLOGY
17. Which is easy to overcome
You just have to be willing to try
18. And remember one really
important thing
Good instruction isn’t something kids earn, it’s
something they deserve.
Even “those” kids
