Well after years of reading other people's blogs its now time to have a go myself! I am the VLE manager at my school (moodle 1.9x) and the ex-head of ICT (for now...) I have been teaching for 13 years and actually can honestly say i enjoy what i do. I would like to say that all opinions on this blog are strictly my own and not that of my establishment!
Excellent disclaimer!
ReplyDeleteAt the NORDAB meeting today I was explaining our whole-school push on VLE usage and how it's taken off massively. I cited the example of setting work on the VLE for the students to do wherever-whenever and upload for me to mark. Distance learning anyone?
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see some people online an discussing things as we launch a bold new endeavour.
I'm a bit stranded with our VLE at the moment - takes to long to access and authorise.
How often are you guys interacting with pupils on there?

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your vle.
ReplyDeleteI guess that with ours it does depend on which subject and possibly which year you are in. Technology, child development,Science,Business, History etc are using it a lot especially coming up to the exams for Year 11. ICT are using it for all work to be uploaded for marking at KS4 and Year 9 work is currently based on the vle.
We have invested a lot of time in ICT with whole staff training that has been very positive and as such we have a really good buzz about ICT at the moment from the majority of staff (you are never going to get everybody on board!)
