Feedback from trainees

My context

IB groups • Keen interest in how integration of technology

can augment learning experience • Firm believer in learning by doing with help

(guide on the side) • Student of MSC in Information technology in

education

Our Context- West Island School

• 11-18 ESF Secondary School 1,200 students delivering IB, GCSE

• Moodle introduced in 2007

More context

•Mixture of levels of expertise •Busy environment time is

precious • Former failed tech innovations

CLC

Stumped by Moodle?

• Lists • File repositories • Gulf between Primary and Secondary

moodles • “Death by scrolling down" common. • Info push rather than learning pull - Web 1.0 • Embedded resources rare • Ongoing PD on Moodle patchy • Centre Periphery model of PD not effective

Past Imperfect (Religous)

Enter Words of Wisdom

Present Perfect (Maths)
