Moodle designed to be a digital classroom. Just like a traditional classroom let the students design within the parameters. Just tell them it's a classroom and not MySpace or Facebook.
1:1 changes the traditional learning environment. One initial mistake
was that every teacher had a different expectation and procedures for
submitting assignment, etc and after a year the students said it was
confusing.
Moodle provides a consistent learning environment.
Definitions:
Users - who accesses
Categories - how are resources managed
Roles - permissions
Courses- repository of resources & activities targeted to isolated group of users
Groups - division of course participants
Meta course -
Gradebook - place to report completion
Moodle initially designed for collegiate calendar; also classroom model (1:1 model with activities); professional development model.
Collegiate - courses built by template &/or dynamic (csv); metacourse
(course 1 with professor, groups, activities) and then enrollment into
sections via dynamic.
1:1 Model - recommended that if you have six periods you build six courses; teacher category - 1st, 2nd, 3rd grading periods to keep
course from becoming huge.
Professional Dev. - topical; tracks successful completion; repetition
training; focused training
Prof dev - instead of one size fits all send those who need to take the course.
Students respond in an online course often way different than in a
traditional classroom, in a good way and all interaction is very
trackable.
Messaging needs to be turned on - provides good info that can be saved.
