I created an interactive Moodle to use with my class. Moodle works well

for differentiation and student choice. This software has excellent quality

and a built-in management system to make it easy to implement.

Rubrics and LessonsRubrics and Lessons

Rubrics have become required tools by school districts to assure that learning is always standards driven. Rubrics also provide students with quality feedback.

Google Docs is an easy to use program that allows word processing and spreadsheets. Students/Educators can create documents and share them with others, allowing peers or colleagues to edit or comment on existing work.

Online Assessment ToolOnline Assessment Tool

Quizstar was a terrific site to work with to create online quizzes.

Creating quizzes online allows me to have alternatives to the traditional

paper and pencil quizzes. The most ideal part is being able to control the

intensity of the quiz.

My ConclusionMy Conclusion

I enjoyed the experience of this course. It was a challenge for me to work with the Moodle.

I SLOWLY found my way by making MANY mistakes.

Glogster was one of the best tools for me. I can see my students using this immediately as we create online collages based on our

Social Studies unit.
