4. How can we use it at MES?
Moodle can be used for our STAFF, our STUDENTS
and our PARENTS!

5. Staff
• By creating an online
community of learners, we
can discuss and share ideas
about lesson planning and
implementation of technology
enriched curriculum.
• We can extend the online
community to our sister
schools in Comal ISD.
• Sharing ideas and learning

from other educators is an
OUTSTANDING resource!

6. Students
• Our students can access
important information,
blogs, wikis, assignments,
and other multi-media
resources independently.
• Students who are absent
DO NOT have to miss
important curriculum.
• Utilizing this technology
can take the place of some
of your small groups,
freeing up your time to

dedicate it to more
struggling learners.
• Moodle is a great resource
for students who need to

7. Parents
• Parents will be able to access
important classroom
information.
• We can also create parenting
networks and upload
information such as our Love
and Logic parenting program.
• Moodle would also be a
WONDERFUL resource for all

8. I know what your thinking...
...Sounds great BUT...

9. BUT...
• How are we going • Our PARENTS
to find the TIME to won’t even go on
upload all of this the site, so why try?
and keep it up to
date? • How can our
students benefit
• I don’t KNOW from this if they
HOW to use all of can’t even READ?
that technology
stuff! • I don’t want to!

10. So? Was I right?
It can be done...let me tell
you how! :)

11. • Time: By utilizing an online learning community, we will have less staff
developments. Most of our staff developments can be done sitting on your couch!
This will free up your time to upload, blog and share information. Plus, Moodle is a
VERY easy site to manipulate!
• Novice Technology Users: As your (self proclaimed) campus liaison for all things
TECHNOLOGY, I will not let you fail. I am always available for trainings and how
to’s. My door is always open and my iPhone is always on! :)
• Parents: Even though our school has a large number of students living in poverty,
MOST of them have some type of internet access. Why should we limit ourselves to
only the students without it, when many parents find a way to e-mail etc?
• K-2 Teachers: Access to Moodle will look a little different for your students. The
students that will greatly benefit from this are going to be your more advanced
learners that are able to read. By enriching their learning with technology, you will
free up your time to help those struggling learners!
• 3-5 Teachers: Your students should be able to benefit from this program, even if they
have to partner up to share information etc. They can also access it independently
on the MacBooks, in the computer lab and at home!
• If you are still hesitant to move towards a technology enriched
curriculum...THINK about your students! They are living in a WORLD where
technology will shape everything!
