Greetings All,
Model Lab School, at EKU, in Richmond KY is using Moodle for our
school's web site. It is an evolutionary process, but so far we have
been quite pleased with the capabilities: especially for students to
upload documents to specific teachers and it's "user friendliness" for
teachers to create and manipulate their own web pages. Check it out at
www.modellabschool.com.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Michelle

Moodle is open source software. Moodle is an online learning/teaching =
environment much like Blackboard. I have used Moodle effectively and =
know others who have as well. Many districts use Moodle as a cost =
effective tool for learning/teaching.

Subject: TARGET->TECH->Questions about "Moodle" (not anything related to

Noodle or Noodlebib)
An AP teacher attending a training this summer has been introduced to
"Moodle"--a type of Teacher/Student online communication tool.
I am totally unfamiliar with it. If you or your school or teachers are
using "Moodle" can you please share information regarding this software.
Many thanks!

Hi, any techie gurus still out there? I've visiting my parents and
something very strange has happened to their computer. The buttons at
the top look strange, and there's no pull down menus (File, View, etc.)
or URL box. We have no idea how this happened or how to change it back.
Any ideas? TIA

Subject: BOOK: Second chance by Jenkins
Jenkins, Jerry B. and Time LaHayte.Second chance [Left behind #2]
Tyndale, 1998 [0-8423-2194-2]
In this second book we continue to follow the same four kids after the
rapture. Vicki and Judd go to the airport to pick up his car. Lionel and
Ryan both are scared to go inside their own homes so they decide to
sleep in a tent. The kids have to deal with looters (who burn down
Vicki's trailer) suicide and basic lawlessness. In this 141 page book
the characters go to Bruce at the church to find out more about what is
expected after The Rapture and the following seven years. Once again,
please note that his book is very Christian and may not be appropriate
for your library.

Subject: BOOK: Captain Hook by Hart
Hart, J.V. Capt. Hook. HarperCollins, 2005 [0-06-000220-4]
James, the Illegitimate son of a member of Parliament, is enrolled in
E=
ton much to the anger of all the royal children there. He is a loner
and=
has a pet spider. One upper class-man is out to get James. This early
=
part of the book has the feel of Harry Potter and Hogwarts.
Unfortunatel=
y James and an Ottoman Sultana fall in love much to the anger of the
Quee=
n of England. He dreams of a place called Neverland. When the Sultana
is=
shipped away from England James and his friend stowaway on the ship.
Th=
en this book becomes a sailing story. Life on the ship is harsh and
espe=
cially evil near the end when James, dubbed Capt. James leads a mutiny
on=
the ship and ends up being voted captain of the ship after he kills the
=
captain of the ship with a hook. While I think this 337 is a complete
bo=
ok, it does leave the possibility for another one. Please not that his
b=
ook is not a cutsey Peter Pan book. It contains, duels, death, murder,
=
slavery, harsh life on a ship so I
would not recommend it to elementary students. This is the author's
fir=
st book but he has written screen plays one of which was "Hook." The
ill=
ustrations are done by Brett Helquist of Lemony Snicket fame.

Thanks to all who replied. The right-click option let me get to the tool
bars, but the look was still messed up. While playing with those
directions, though, I discovered that the right corner button that
usually says maximize said restore. I clicked on that and it was back to
normal!

Subject: The sledding hill by Crutcher
Crutcher, Chris. The Sledding Hill. Greenwillow/HarperCollins, 2005
[0-06-050243-6]
This book centers around around a troubled boy, Eddie. Recently both
his father and his best friend died. The story is narrated by Billy,
his best friend who recently died and is looking after Eddie. Sometimes
they meet on the sledding hill... hence the title. The trauma of the
double death is too much for Eddie so he stops talking. In school a
teacher introduces a controversial book which Eddie and other troubled
kids really take to. Unfortunately the local minister gets the
community riled up to have the book removed from school. This touching
230 page book is about death, friendship, and of course censorship.
Initially it bothered me that the book which is introduced and causes a
stir, is another book by Crutcher. I thought this was a little
self-serving but by the end of the story you can understand why he did
it.

Subject: BOOK: Scorpia by Horowitz
Horowitz, Anthony. Scorpia [Alex Rider #5]. Philomel, 2005
[0-399-24151-5]
At the end of the last book, Alex was told his father was affiliated
with Scorpia, not MI6. In this book Alex goes in search of Scorpia, an
international crime organization. He finds out that his father worked
for them and because of how MI6 tricked him before (in previous books),
Alex decides to switch sides and become part of Scorpia. He gets
entangled in a plot of Scorpia's to pit the USA and Great Britain
against each other. Of course, at the end of this 312 page book, Alex
once again saves the day and is convinced to go back to MI6. Once again
Horowitz had written a great thriller/spy novel with a 14 year-old-boy
as the main character.
