Differentiation in Moodle

The excellent Mountain Moot allowed me to present “Differentiation in Moodle”. This was a fun presentation to deliver. Differentiation is important in education. I shared some tips and tricks that allow teachers to provide a variety of experiences for students.

Differentiation in Moodle covered the following topics:

  • Accommodations with Quiz
  • Using Restrictions
  • Using Group Choice to allow students to pick their path

Presenting remotely is a different experience. I usually like to “read the room” and adjust as I go. I didn’t get a ton of feedback, so adjustments were difficult. I did make sure to address a couple of questions as they came up.

Overall, I’m pleased with the how the presentation turned out. The feedback was extremely positive. The timing of the presentation matched with the time that I had. I felt as though I covered the topics that I wanted. The material had enough detail that it could be used to create material. Since it was recorded, the ability to review is present for the attendees.

U.S. Moodle Moot Presentation

I’m very pleased that I will be presenting at the U.S. Moodle Moot in Denver, Co. This will be an exciting conference. I’ll get to share some of the great things my team has developed. 

Focus on Learning: Moodle in PreK-14

Dearborn Public Schools developed the Fordson Theme to focus students and teachers on learning. Moodle’s greatest strength and weakness is its capability and options. As an educator and former principal, my perspective is on keeping the students focused on the learning. Our students come to us with a variety of cultural, educational and financial backgrounds. We’ll share some of keystones, questions and perspectives in our leading Moodle implementation. We’ll share some specific examples of learning activities that use Moodle to focus on learning. 

Presenting the story of the work that my team has done is important for us in many ways. I get to valuable feedback whenever I present. Most importantly, I get to honor and recognize the great work that my team does. 

UPDATE: The presentation is now posted. Join me on Day 1 at 11:30 a.m.
