A great video from the coalface
Often I am reminded of the reason why I chose Moodle as my LMS platform. It was not the rich feature list, it’s usability or component based architecture that allows easy expansion (although they all may have had some impact). No, it was the impact it has when directed by teachers who are keen to engage their students online.
They are not techno junkies or hold special super powers. They often don’t get time release or even additional PD. They are standard (and I don’t mean that in a negative tone) teachers with one major difference. They see validity in elearning and see it as a way of making a difference in their classrooms.
This is a video from 2007 of Molly Tipton, a social studies teacher from Nolan Richardson Middle School in Texas. In this video she describes how she uses Moodle in the classroom. All I need as an integrator is just one teacher like Molly that shows why the investment of my/our time and resources is worth it.
P.S. If you haven’t browsed TeacherTube lately you should check it out. I came onto this video in one of my typical random “moodle” searches.
