About Me: I work for a charter school that is trying to make the jump into the virtual world of learning. Next year we will be setting up Moodle on our servers and importing ready made curriculum so students can begin the virtual experience by 2010/2011. Let's just hope we make it.

The 10 recipients of this grant receive $200 to promote "digital learning" in their classroom, as well as a flip video camera. Recipients are selected through an online voting process. SO -- If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate your going online and voting for my project. It would really mean a lot to me to have your vote and support! Just go to http://www.weareteachers.com/web/weareteachers/dlvote and follow the directions there.

I plan on using the grant with our ELD students and the Freedom Campaign we are doing in the Fall. Please got to the link and vote for me!!!

Thanks for your vote.

By the way, Wiziq has a Moodle plug in that allows you to go directly into its virtual classroom from Moodle.

The descriptions make the page way too busy but I don't want to hide them under the forum tab. I have attached a picture. Any suggestions??

With your interest in Technology and Virtual Learning, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
