Moodle

Moodle is a unique tool to interact with students in a different way. It allows for collaborative online learning with students, as well as teachers. Moodle is a web-based program designed to help educators create an effective online learning community. Southeast Polk Senior High School uses Moodle in their classrooms. I feel like Moodle could be a very effective way for students to connect not only to other students but also to their teachers. It could really provide a unique way for students to do projects and other activities outside of class without the teacher having to be there. This could make projects and assignments much easier when a student has questions. Instead of the student being confused and not doing the project, they can simply check online for the assignment and for student comments about the assignment. Moodle could be very useful in many high school classrooms and eliminate the excuse of "I didn't get it" because everything is online for them to look at. Southeast Polk High School Moodle Site
