Learning Tools from UBC Arts

There is a set of learning tools provided by UBC and this includes: a timeline tool, a multimedia learning object authoring tool, a vocabulary memorization platform (includes flashcards and games). I have not used the tools yet, but they look good. Send me an email to see how they work.

Using Blogs to Document Class Activities

You can use blogs to document class activities in photos and in text as I have done with room A207. I have turned off the comment function.

You can also use blogs to post students' work, with the correct blog security functions of course. For example, the teacher would ask students to comment on the question placed in the blog. With the moderate comments function enabled, the teacher is then emailed a response from each student, checks it, and then has the comment post to the blog.

Let me know if you have other uses.

Starting a New Moodle Account

Open another webbrowser, or internet explorer window, and follow the steps listed below.

You will start the moodle program by simply typing "wilson" into the address bar for your web browser.

The school's moodle website, KESPER, will appear.

A login box will appear below the calendar on the right of the moodle start page.

Click on "login" and use your first initial and your last name as your username and use your username as your initial password.

After you have logged in, go tothe upper right hand corner of the screen or the login box where you logged in and select your name and on the next screen click on the button that says "change your password."

You have likely been given creator permission and so you may now go to a course category and create your course. Please use the name on the report card when naming a new course, if you are unsure of the name please contact Derek P.

Good Luck
