One approach to staff development as we consider how to teach (not so much train) teachers Moodle.
Show notes:
Most of the information for this podcast is from a outline of a proposal I did about a year ago. It needs to be tweaked and all, so feel welcome in using all or part or none of the ideas for training teachers on using Moodle.
Day 1: Why teacher with technology?
A four[six]-hour discussion of exploring the reasons for using technology (in this case, Moodle) in the classroom. Participants will be experiencing Moodle as the instructor builds the class in Moodle from scratch. The basis of instruction will come from various readings regarding using technology in the classroom and participant-generated text.
Day 2: How do I teach using Moodle?
Participants will bring existing units of learning (a unit, lessons, etc) transitioning that lesson(s) to Moodle. Participants will be using the ACOT Unit of Practice template (Invitation, Standards, Tasks, Interactions, Situation, Assessment, Tools) to aid in this translation to their class site.
