This week my two new teachers both implemented Moodle for class assignments:
The 4th grade teacher used it to create a 10 question Social Studies quiz. I have not had a chance yet to get a formal report of how things went with the quiz, but in a brief conversation she said that the students really enjoyed taking the quiz on Moodle. One of them remarked that it was easier because it let her look at one question at a time.
The high school English teacher used Moodle to have her students create a glossary of terms for her Shakespeare unit. This assignment is still in progress and I have not had a chance to ask her how things are going with it. I am assuming that if there were any major problems, that she would have talked to me about it.
I still need to wrap things up with my other two teachers who have been using Moodle since the beginning of the year, but I am not going to be able to get much accomplished this week because I am on Easter break.

TIP "Progress"
I'm not sure weekly updates are going to show too much to the very end, but I'll try to make a few observations.
I have two teachers that continue to use Moodle in various capacities. My two new teachers are planning on using Moodle in the following ways:
High School English Teacher: Plans to use the glossary module to have her students create a vocab list for their current unit. With my help she now has her classes set up, but I do not believe her students have started using it yet.
4th Grade Teacher: The main problem she encountered was that her students are too young to have email addresses. Moodle requires an email address. Looking through the Moodle forums, the best option I could find was to have her add her students with dummy email addresses. She is currently planning on creating quizzes for her social studies units, but has yet to actually use it with her students.
In an informal survey of my students who currently use Moodle, most of them related that they like Moodle because there is always a list of their assignments there and they can turn in their assignments online.
That's it for now.
