This week in class, we looked over in great detail things that other students have done with their moodle classes in the past semesters. We discussed what kinds of things should be in our moodles and how we would go about putting them into the course itself. We then briefly went through each of our developing moodles to see what everyone was thinking about teaching and the topics that they chose to post information about. We were shown again how to change the sections from weeks to topics and how to name them afterwards.
I personally was introduced to a lot of new technology including Screencast-o-matic, Voki, Padlet, and Rubistar. I have yet to find good uses for these things in my classroom, but I anticipate to find a way to put each of these pieces of technology into action before the semester is over.
We then finished by discussing the ID plan and how we needed to write the plan to support our moodle. Dr. Sponder gave us an outline for this homework assignment with all of the information that we needed to know and we are supposed to copy and paste it to Word and save it to a PDF to submit to the class.
My colleagues, being Math Teachers, believe that incorporating anything with Math is almost impossible. I proved many of them wrong through those websites you mentioned. Rubistar was a big favorite for my supervisor and she (among many others of my staff) want to know more websites that can be used.
ReplyDeleteSince you are just starting the program, I highly suggest you ask your colleagues at your school for tech tools. As you can imagine there is so much out there.
Highly recommend plickers and edpuzzle.
