The Educated Kiwi
When the Flu strikes E-Learning comes into its own.
As the whole family has now had the flu it has been a decidedly average week. It has however been a good chance to use Moodle to set my class their work and still give feedback without being there. Our Year 11 History site has been used extensively while I have been away, coupled with plentiful access to our school owned laptops I can make sure that we are still on track for finishing this unit this term.
I can see when the Pandemic mania was at its height a week ago why some schools looked at having a few weeks worth on their schools Learning Management Systems. That panic has however passed and we can now be happy to progress at our own pace with E-Learning development.

Recently @Moodlegirl sent me through a powerpoint of the War in Europe. This animated powerpoint show allowed us as a class to go through what happened very quickly as a recap at the end of the topic. I figured this must come from somewhere and there it is on the Combat Studies Institute pages, along

One of the effects of the latest flu pandemic is that a school can be shut down at anytime.

Unfortunately in a practical based subject that is a little difficult and rather

So for the past week I’ve been pretty busy moodling. I’d managed to stuff the database at school somehow but after a quick upgrade and backup during the changeover between periods all was settled. So now we carry on with the KAMAR (our school management system) and Moodle integration. We really want to get this

After the recent KAMAR conference I thought I best share the Keynote file we created. You can download it from slideshare if you wish. I will remind you that this is still beta at present but the integration does look pretty good. I will endeavor to add a narration track at some point so you can further
Moodle Maps

After the recent KAMAR conference I’m playing with my moodle plugins again. I really quite like the Maps plugin. You simply define the place you would like to map, students can add points of interest and annotate the maps. Very simple and clear for staff as well as students. Share and Enjoy:
