  1. Moodle in the Primary School www.cleo.net.uk

  2. Why would I? – pupil benefits • Caters for varied learning styles. • Provides opportunity for extension. • Provides opportunity for revision. • ‘Digital Natives’ knowledge is used. Children/young people involved in social networking; collaboration and communication. Moodle appeals to these functions. • Gives learners a sense of ‘ownership’… their class Moodle, their content, their personalized space. • Offers flexibility and 24/7 access. www.cleo.net.uk

  3. Why would I? – teacher benefits • Provides a vehicle for embedding ICT across the curriculum. • Reduction in workload (long term) • Features and functionality provide tools for teaching. • Motivation – especially boys? • WON’T teach the class though! www.cleo.net.uk

  4. Parents and governors • Supports home/school links • Gateway for information and communication • BUT be wary of what access rights you give… www.cleo.net.uk

  5. Children have embraced the "C" words to build active communities of learners, to swap and exchange insights, to collaborate, communicate, create and challenge. Prof Stephen Heppell, EducationGuardian September 2006 www.cleo.net.uk
