=Moodle=  **There is a specific way they should make their username as this username will follow them throughout the rest of their GACS career!!** They need to use their last name, first name: example: townsendken  You can use many things with Moodle. You can show the class page by date or by topic.

To change ANYTHING you must turn editing on. In the upper right corner (under the picture) you will find the "turn editing on" button. - you can arrange the things on the sides. - icons are and eyeball and such. those icons allow you to edit things that are already on there.

To make the class page look what you want - the hand icon allows you to put in a summary - can do date format or topic format - Add Activity and Add Resource below eac week example: Glossary (Add Resource) - the kids make the glossary pic difficult to imbed, but seems to work at home. so, if working at school they need to attach the pic *the glossary is made by class, so each class has access to the "class glossary" but not for others. You can decide how that is done.  Ken's favorite activity
 * assign the kid a key term
 * the kids have to write a definition and picture - the def CANNOT come just from the book
 * the kids sometimes comment and/or rate each other
 * in class the kids then go over their words with each other and discuss the validity of each other's definitions

__Quizzes__ 1. write questions in the question bank - you don't have to do all at the same time. Take your time doing this so you don't feel overwhelmed 2. Add Activity - quiz 3. set parameters of quiz - CAN BE CHANGED LATER, SO DON'T WORRY 4. choose questions
 * you can choose how long they get
 * you choose how many times they can attempt it
 * you decide if they learn after each attempt which ones they got wrong (Dana never does that)
 * can be used as a study tool
 * you can choose if it shuffles answers or questions
 * can do m/c, matching, short answer, free response, discussion - ANY type of question you want

__Lessons vs. quizzes__ quizzes are more of an assessment of what they know lessons can differentiate the student based on the answers they give - guiding the students through their learning

__Resources__ can add pdf's, excel files, doc, website links, or any file you want for the student to download.

__Digital Locker__ Students can upload anything they want for editing later.

__feedback__ for general feedback, Moodle is awesome and green! for specific feedback, it does not work, so it is better to have the students turn in paper work.

OH, DON'T USE AN APOSTROPHE!!
