You know what keeps bothering me about this part: This time, she asked herself, "What do I want my students to learn?" And she wrote down her objectives... There is no assessment. --Art Lader 19:16, 5 April 2006 (WST)

It would also be good to include something about students exercising poor judgement, but its not being the end of the world. wouldn't it? --Art Lader 22:35, 5 April 2006 (WST)



Gosh, Art. You've more or less captured the Moodle adaptation experience I had in my first two years of using Moodle in my classroom! Thanks! :-) I made only minor changes. The only real content shift I took the liberty to make was to take out the reference to "seventh grade" in order to appeal more to a world-wide application as mentioned in the forums.  :-) Lesli Smith

Thanks, Lesli. Please tweak it however you think is necessary! --Art Lader 18:57, 5 April 2006 (WST)

I'm not sure how well it works with the quotes in italics instead of quotes.

Compare:

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" she exclaimed as she jumped up on the desk.

I think you are right, D. I. I will change it when I get a chance. --Art Lader 01:45, 5 April 2006 (WST)


Changed italics to quotation marks. --Art Lader 09:02, 5 April 2006 (WST)


I like the flow much better and the close is very Moodle.

As the Pretty Good Teacher might ask: The goal of this piece is to .... This will help with the polishing edit.

And help determine the type and placement of graphics we are going to put in, because we do have appeal to those visual learners.

And my other question, once we get the script down, when are we going to put this on a pod cast? And or were you thinking of doing it in Flash. Have different people read the parts, or different sections, what did you have in mind. Good thing I don't know how to do any of this stuff (yet). --Chris collman 03:34, 5 April 2006 (WST)

Good stuff, Chris... My original intention in writing this was to put a human face on the evolution of a Moodle-teacher in order to possibly use in a staff development course I am helping to develop. It just sort of leaked out of me in its original form. But I am not much of a writer, so I put it out there for suggestions, comments, etc. Basically, I am open to any constructive suggestions. --Art Lader 03:52, 5 April 2006 (WST)

The narrative style is very confucious-esque, or like a childs storybook. It'd be interesting to see it as a sort of animated slideshow... it could be a podcast... but a narrated picture book would work well, if we could find an illustrator... D.I. von Briesen 06:26, 5 April 2006 (WST)

That is a really interesting proposal, D. I. I would never have thought of it. --Art Lader 21:06, 5 April 2006 (WST)

Hi Art. I'm in graduate school studying Moodle and I'd be willing to do a narrated picture book if you're willing to give the permission to recopy the story. I'd probably use PhotoStory. It seems like a great story that would be even better with a little narration and pictures! I'd like to use it to promote Moodle in the school I teach at also. What do you think?

data projector?

Hi Art, does data = lcd? A little confusing. Does the rest of the world call it a data projector or something ?? I started to edit it and then thought maybe i should ask ! Marcia

PS... I looked at the history ... I think I get it ... somebody else is editing "data" back in. Is that it? OK ....


Hmmm... I don't really know, Marcia. Good question. I guess data projector works better for some. -- Art
