It's free, open source, and can be adapted to any learning environment. Create calendars, message boards, resource pages, wikis, surveys, tests, and more. Tom has used Moodle with his 5th-8th graders for the past 3 years to teach science and technology and will share his experiences with this e-learning platform.Facilitator:…See More

July 29, 2009 from 2pm to 2:45pm
Few things about middle school students drive teachers to the brink of insanity faster than organization (or lack thereof) and homework. Join us for a discussion of one way to help combat both problems while also addressing multiple intelligences, differentiation, and student choice.Interactive Notebooks are a way to help facilitate all of these things by allowing your students to be creative and have a choice in the way they process information.

Kim Lightle said… - hi Marie - So glad you joined the MSP2 network. It would be great if you would add a short bio in your "My Page" Text Box telling people about your role in education.
I wanted to point out that we've got lots of resources for middle school math [and science] educators - look at the left side of the Main page - Math and Science Resource Guides, Diigo lists, and project blogs where we highlight exemplary online math and science resources and the research that is going on at the polar regions.
We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling - were you able to make any of those? You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.
You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome – Kim

Mary Henton said… - Yes, Marie, Welcome! There is a math group here on the portal that you might be interested in joining. It's a place for targeted conversation that is math-specific.
Would love to know a little more about you: What math topics you particularly enjoy teaching. What web or digital tools you've been using in your classes. What challenges do you face as you consider using web or digital tools.
With 30+ years of experience, you have a wealth of knowledge to share. There is a wide of range of experience--from pre-service folks to people like you with a deep career in education. I hope you will find a way to contribute and also learn and develop new professional support for your work.
Again, welcome!
