I introduced this lesson back in 2015. It was my first time using technology for independent learning and I was new to the program. I had tones of ideas but I wasn't sure how to implement them into the classroom setting.  Out of 63 students only 1 was successful in submitting an assignment.

This year, I approached it differently with my students. I was able to start the class on chrome books and we all logged on successfully. I was prepared for the student questions and I could guide them to the tutorials on how to submit a video. I do see more activity on the account compared to last year. I am finding students would rather test in person than do online testing. I am not sure why this is at this moment, but I will do a survey at the end of the year to help me understand what I can do to make this site more successful.

How is technology implemented?

Students are able to access the moodle account from any mobile device that has internet access. The website has tutorials and sheet music to enhance independent learning.  Once the student feel confident in their performance they can record and submit their final draft.

The use of this technology  allows more classroom instruction during our once a week class.  Before moodle,  I was using most of my class period to test individual students.  Now we can use our time together more effectively by going over problem spots or theory based questions.

Mrs. Lehman was preparing for her 4th grade recorder class. She came across some difficulties on how to introduce the Recorder Karate to her class.
