Welcome to Moodle for AOS 93!

We've upgraded Moodle to the most recent version of 1.9 today. Not only will you notice a new look, but there's a new "feel" to Moodle too! When you log in, you'll log into just your own courses, making it easier for students to quickly access their classes! Google Apps has been integrated into this version of Moodle so you can quickley access your docs, mail and calendars! There's some very useful new add-ons too, like games, video, audio, wiki and forum upgrades!

Enjoy!

The move from Union 74 to AOS 93 has begun!

We have just incorporated into Moodle a new text messaging system that will alert you of any school closings, early release or emergencies. Parents of students who attended school within AOS 93 are urged to sign up for this system by emailing KJ Flewelling at kjflewelling@aos93.org

Podcasting is now available as an activity in your classes to be able to listen to readings, class news and events, presentations or anything else you can think of. Watch the news section for more events to come!

I've uploaded some new activities that can be used in your classes. The Storytelling activity looks like it could be very beneficial to classes who use journals and any kind of writing that uses peer editing.
I've also added a cool activity called real time quiz, that is just what it sounds like. The teacher develops the quiz and then launches it so that all students take it at the same with a certain amount of time to answer each question.
I've also upgraded the wiki module to include better histories of changes. (Though the wiki will still only allow one user editor at a time)
I'm looking into adding a Skype module that will allow classes to video conference with other classes and organizations of interest around the world like, NASA, Zoos, Science Labs, elementary and middle schools in other countries, the potential is endless!
