=Math and Moodle= Finding ways to use moodle in our math classes:
 * Glossary - students work together to input vocabulary words and defintions. They can insert a pictures through clip art and can tag the words with the keyword option for each chapter. Students are able to locate words by chapter and alphabetically.
 * Choices - the teacher can post a questions and have students log in and select their answer. This can be used for students signing up for projects or for problem of the day answers. Both teacher and students can look at the answers chosen and limit the number of times an option can be chosen.
 * Digital Lockers - students can store work from home and incomplete work done at school on their moodle account in their digital locker. The teacher can set up the student's digital lockers under "Add an Activity" and then "Advanced Uploading of Files".
 * Groups - the teacher can organize the students by class periods and can set up to email all students at once.
 * Online Quizzes - the teacher can set up under "Add a Resource" and then "Link to a file or website" and add a link for online quizzes. Once the student has completed the online quiz, the student can go to "Add an Activity" and then select "Online text" and copy and paste their quiz and answers for the teacher to review and input grade.

Things to think about: 1.   Online Math Resources? Send me what you have… 2.   Online Textbooks? What does your course offer besides an actual physical text? CD-ROM? 3.   What sort of technology are you using to teach with? What sort are you using to introduce to your students? 4.   How prepared are we for laptops? What should our classes (PLU) teach us this summer and next summer?
