Week 5 and 6

My Plan changed from what I thought it was going to be. Last week I was focusing on the American Civil War because I thought it would be a great project to help the 8th Grade teachers. As I was working on the Design I decided that I wanted to use the online project for my class. I have technology classes that are web based with the directions written on the site for the projects they do but the first two weeks are usually by direct instruction. I have signed up for a Moodle account and have set up the first two weeks using Moodle. I am still in the process of working on the Moodle set up because I have never used it before so we shall see.

The plan can be found at http://southridgems.org/ourpages/users/Fisher/moodleintro.doc

I think I need to go back and redo the Design for the Content, Student and Instructor Characteristics (week 2) because I may have done them wrong.

My next steps is to create the Moodle classes and begin to create the pages with the assignments. I am still trying to figure out how Moodle works and figure out how to create the quizzes and stuff.

I will be updating my instructional media soon. Stay tuned.
