It also make great web glue!

Extending the classroom
5% of all this traffic occurs
after school hours; and this trend is increasing.
That's an exciting direction. This can improve parent awareness of school activity and help create connections between the student home life and their work in the classroom
It's not just on a computer either ... think P.O.D.

What teachers are saying ...
Thanks for the super day. Best inservice I've had in years!
(Hythe Elementary May 2009)
There was no pressure in doing this session, very hands on. Thank you!
(PRSD PD Day Sept 2009)
hey, would I have anything to share if it weren’t for your instruction on e-community?? It’s all teamwork.
(Penson May 2009)
What teachers are saying ...
Thanks for all your work and patience this year (Moodle Year End Survey June 2009)
I just wanted to say thanks for last week!! It was nice to have time to work and use your brain. Thanks for all those great ideas. (Harry Balfour Sept 2009)
And thanks for your work this year on moodle. I wouldn’t have bothered trying to use it if there hadn’t been someone dedicated to helping us out – an inservice just isn’t that great – they can show it to you, but having you (and Jon) actually come out when we were working on stuff and helping us get going was really the key to getting us to use it. (PWA June 2009)
