Moodle update


It's Saturday and the football is on again. This really helps me to feel like I'm working 'whilst' at the same time working. Thank you cable TV.

So...an update on how my Moolde site is going. Like the other two times I made one, it hasnt been an overnight storming success.

First I tried to get the kids to enrol themselves as users to save me time. I wont be doing that again.

Second I thought I'd be clever and use a hot potato quiz to get the kids to do a pre-test at the start of our new unit. This test would then be repeated at the end of the unti as a post-test to show progression. However, something dawned on me. What would happen if the kids fluked a good score in the pre-test, and then got a worse score in the post-test? Would this mean the whole unit was a waste of time? I will have to think more about this one. Perhaps if I used non-multichoice quizes, then the students couldn't possibly fluke the answers.

Thirdly, I did actually find one good use. For allowing students who were absent to download the activity work sheets themselves or view the Powerpoint of learning objectives and lesson instructions on their own computers.
