Alvarez's Fifth Grade Students Moodle

This year, Round Rock ISD is opening their Moodle to elementary students.  Moodle is an online learning management system that "provide(s) teachers and students with Web-Enhanced instructional capabilities."  Mr. Alvarez attended a multi-day Moodle academy this summer to prepare to incorporate this interactive tool in his classroom this year.  According to Mr. Alvarez, "Moodle is an on-line extension of the work the kids and I do in class.   Kids do "Moodle Multiplication" a timed multiplication practice which records accuracy and fluency.  I also post classwork and homework assignments kids/parents can download and print.  Recently, I added links to Youtube demonstrating methods for multiplication."  Mr. Alvarez is incorporating interactive internet activities to enhance his instruction. Congratulations to Mr. Alvarez for finding interactive ways to make learning multiplication math fun and interesting.
