Let's Moodle:
(Sunday, June 14 - Friday, June 19, 2009)

Location:http://knowschools.ca
Facilitator:David LeBlanc, Canada

Moodling is becoming very popular in our province! So much so, that we weren't prepared for so many people wanting to participate in our previous two knowWEEKS ( Beginners Moodle was held in February 2009, and Advanced Moodle, held May 2009)

As the newest Moodle partner in the world, Knowplace Family of Sites has responsibility for training and support in Canada. We are very proud of this designation and want to celebrate and share our achievement with you. We know that end-of-term is busy for you, but we have added an extra opportuntiy in our knowWEEK series for you to learn and share with us about Moodle. There will be no cost to BC teachers to participate.

This knowWEEK is of interest to people who consider themselves new to Moodle? Have started to use the program and are frustrated already? Are you starting to wonder if Moodle and the online environment is for you?

In this active knowWEEK you'll work your way through using some of the Moodle "Mission Critical" Tools. You will be guided to use some of the basic and most important tools, resources and activities required to teach online in a Moodle environment and maximize your understanding of the open source community.
