  1.  Moodle is Now Ready! 

  2. How We Got There • Moodle is a share-ware program like Black Board that allows us to teach students on-line.  • The GT program has a goal of servicing more than 300 students in 11 buildings. The computer is our connection! • We have worked out some messaging problems and have learned more of how the program works with pilot groups.  • We are now ready to go district wide with the program. 

  3. What is Presently Possible • Elementary GT students can now get Moodle help with their Classics workbooks.  • Jr. High GT students can now learn the Future Problem Solving steps on Moodle and can access original future scenes. 

  4. Moodle Tools for the Classics • Resources – save research time and trouble. • Assignments – Student can print these off and turn them into their classroom teachers. • Forums – Talk with GT students across the district about the story they are reading. • Wikis – Do Group Work with students across the district.

  5. Goals for Students in the Classics • To give them a chance to do some Higher Order Thinking about their Reading. • To give them a chance to get to know the other GT Students in the district. • To help them to become Autonomous Learners.

  6. Classics Class Rules • Respect the GT Coordinator and the Students in your on-line discussions. • Respect Yourself by working hard and • Respect your Teacher and Respect the Students in your Classroom by looking for and encouraging their strengths. Finding the Interesting

Moodle Tools for Future Problem Solving • Resources – This allows students to connect to current events, encyclopedias, and future scenes on-line. • Forums – Talk with GT students across the district about the FPS Scene they are working on. • Wikis – Allow Teaming with students across the district.

  9. The First Step in FPS • In Math you are given a Problem and asked to find a Solution. • In FPS you are given a Situation and asked to find the Challenges. • Finding many Challenges in an FPS Scene is the first step.

  10. The six-step Future Problem Solving model: • Identify Challenges in the Future Scene • Select an Underlying Problem • Produce Solution Ideas to the Underlying Problem • Generate and Select Criteria to Evaluate Solution Ideas • Apply Criteria to Solution Ideas • Develop an Action Planhttp://www.fpsp.org/

  11. Future Problem Solving Uses • Allow students to work on FPS while you remediate other students • Allow students to Pre-Test coming Chapters or Units. If they reach mastery, give them time to work on Moodle. • If your subject standards require Problem Solving, you may wish to grade FPS work. • Use the Power Point on Step Three to teach Creative Thinking alone.

  12. Coming Soon to a Computer Near You! • Monitor and Adjust Existing Classes • Elementary Future Problem Solving • Leadership • Art
