Moodle 1.9 for Teaching 7-14 Year Olds: Beginner's Guide

Overview of this book

Moodle is a very popular e-learning tool in universities and high schools. But what does it have to offer younger students who want a fun, interesting, interactive, and informative learning experience? Moodle empowers teachers to achieve all this and more and this book will show you how! This book will show complete beginners in Moodle with no technical background how to make the most of its features to enhance the learning and teaching of children aged around 7-14. This is a practical book for teachers, written by a teacher with two decades of practical experience, latterly in using Moodle to motivate younger students. Its aim is to give you some hints and advice on how to get your Moodle courses up and running with useful content that your students will actually want to go and learn from on a regular basis. We will assume that you have an installation of Moodle managed by somebody else, so you are responsible only for creating and delivering course content. Throughout the book we will be building a course from scratch, adaptable for ages 7 to 14 on Rivers and Flooding It could be any topic, as Moodle lends itself to all subjects and ages.

Preface

Time for action-link the topic web page to its image


Just use the same principles as before. There's nothing new to learn here.

  1. 1. Right-click on the web page and copy its URL.

  2. 2. Click the editing icon for Topic 0 and click on the first image, which is for Topic 1.

  3. 3. Click on the Hyperlink icon and paste the URL of the web page into the hyperlink box.

  4. 4. Save, and check whether it works!

The same process we went through for Topic 1 now needs to be repeated for the other three topics. Are you up for it?

Have a go hero-link the other topics to their images

It's just a question of taking a topic section, copying its resource links onto a new Moodle web page, prettying up the web page, and then linking it to its matching image up at the top of our course. Once you have done that with all of the other sections, there is only one more job left to do, which is, to get the effect that we saw earlier.
