MOODLE ROAD MAP

Moodle Sites are World Wide

Policy • Safe Harbor vs. Safe Islands • Communication in a classroom vs. Communication to the World. • Authenticate Education means Real World Wesley Fryer

Policy vs. Authentic Education • Students have to be allowed to communicate with the tools that they are using. • Students have to be able to construct. • Students have to be able to collaborate. Policy should be for security not limitations.

Policy • Students are using technology at home, after school, and in your classrooms. • Teachers can teach etiquette in a controlled environment. • Moodle can provide that environment.
