Moodle (2.0) Sreencast Tutorials - the basics!


Here are the first of a series of screencast tutorials that I am putting together for teachers getting to know their way around Moodle 2.0. As we know Moodle is much more than a repository for "stuff", but in reality, uploading some key handouts and resources will give students a good reason to use the course page whilst providing teachers with a sense of achievement also.

    Thank you Claire. Great stuff!

    I would like to set up an Auckland based Moodle support group. It might be helpful to have the occasional face to face time in addition to the Moodle in Schools site.
    Will be in touch again with more details!

    Thank you for this Claire. Was good to give a link to my staff (I'm an HOD) to look at this as they begin learning about Moodle. It means they can go back and look after they have had some basic intro to Moodle.

    Thanks, I love your simplicity.
    Very considerate in the way you explain:for those who know more is good; and then for the very beginners, they feel well taken care of.

    Love your way

Education in Aotearoa - the fairy tale we are being fed and the fairy tale we need.

Image
Maybe it's the English teacher in me, but I can't help coming back to two fairy tales when I think about what is going on in education in Aotearoa at the moment. One fairy tale we seem to be currently living through, 'Chicken Little' and one fairy tale we could very dearly learn from 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.  Part One: Chicken Little and Maths education in NZ - There's no crisis like a manufactured crisis!   The fairy tale of Chicken Little, also known as "Henny Penny" or "The Sky is Falling," tells the story of a small, fearful chicken who is struck on the head by a falling acorn. Mistaking the acorn for a piece of the sky, Chicken Little believes that the sky is falling and sets out to warn the king. Along the way, Chicken Little meets other animals like Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey, who join the journey to alert the king. However, they are eventually deceived by a clever fox, Foxy Loxy, who invites them into his...

The Principal Diaries - The Annual Plan and putting the plan into action!

Image
It was an interesting process pulling together my first annual plan as Principal at Albany Senior High School. School Charters and Annual Plans are interesting beasts. To be honest, they appear to be box ticking waffle and weasel words which gather cyber dust in some virtual filing system. My belief was that a plan can be bloody useful, but only if it was actually designed to be useful. For that reason, I set about researching and reading as many as I could lay my hands on. What I found, for the most part, was (I thought) unnecessarily long winded and either attempted to capture so much in so much detail that they seemed insurmountable or so vague they read like paraphrased business as usual. In the end, the easiest approach was to go to The University of Auckland Centre for Educational Leadership to look at their resources and templates and have a crack of building something from scratch. The following is my attempt to craft an Annual Plan (this obviously doesn't include the br...

EDUCATION - Where there are things that other countries have done well, we should steal it!

Image
Source: NEWSHUB.CO.NZ In an interview with NewsHub on Monday the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said his Coalition Government has set some ambitious goals they want New Zealanders to focus on and will take inspiration from other countries to achieve them. "We are here to improve the country by these targets and as a result, we look at whatever is working around the world," Luxon said. He talked about three countries in particular due to them being a similar size and examples of success. Going so far as to say “Where there are things that other countries have done well, we should steal it!” Concerns about " used futures " put to one side, let's investigate this idea a little further. So who were the three counties he named? Estonia, Ireland and Singapore. So that got me thinking, what does education look like in these countries? And when and how do we start our plundering?  Singapore: Holistic Education: Emphasising the development of students' character, ...
