Using Moodle for Elementary Instruction

As the Technology Teacher leader at my school, my task is to provide professional learning classes on any technology programs we have at school. This year, one of my focuses was our district's version of Moodle, called E-Learn. At first, the district wanted every teacher to have an E-Learn site up and running by the end of the school year. As we got further into the year and bogged down with implementing a new student data system and web-based grade book, that goal changed. The TTL's were asked to offer training in E-Learn for motivated and interested teachers only. This was a much better approach, in my opinion, because these teachers are now wonderful peer tutors for when I will have to do mandatory training.


When I read our assignment for this week, to create a presentation to convince my staff of the benefits to using a course management system, I immediately thought of how I could use this to prepare my staff for the inevitable. Attached is the final product, please let me know if I can improve upon this before I do present it to the teachers who are going to need support and encouragement to accomplish this transformation.
