Throughout this process I have learned that people are using and relying on technology more than I had even imagined. Many of my students are even asking to submit assignments via email instead of handing in a hard copy. It seems like technology is taking over for almost everything but my concern is what will students do when technology fails them as we all know it will.
As for my goals I have taking the first few steps and have had my students and their parents complete a survey in which I learned that more parents and students were interested in the Moodle page. They all looked forward to the various aspects that it has to offer. The parents stated they would use it to make sure their child is completing assignments as well to look at their grade. Where the students stated they would use it to check their homework as well as ask questions if need be. With the results that I received from the survey I went ahead and set up a basis Moodle page. Although it is far from being done I have began to set up the first page but still need to learn how to add different categories as well link a confidential grading program to the page for parents to monitor their child.
My goal for this week is to learn how to add categories so I can break the Moodle page into different sections. In hind sight though I should have picked this GAME plan when there were more resources available not towards the end of the year when 99% of the workshops are done as well as teachers are ready for the year to end and have less time to help.

So are you starting to accept assignements that are submitted through email? There are a lot of teachers that I know who are doing that and then they even correct them and then send it back via email. This is at the junior high and high school level but it is being done.
