Mary Cooch, or Moodlefairy, as she is known online, has taught Languages and Geography at Our Lady's High School, Preston, UK for over 25 years. She now spends part of her working week travelling Europe showing teachers, lecturers, or business users how best to use Moodle, and the other part liaising with the ten primary schools linked to her own high school. Based on her personal experiences, Mary has a deep understanding of what works best with younger students, and empathy (being a non-technical user herself) with teachers who just want to use Moodle as a teaching tool without understanding all the geeky stuff behind it. Mary lives, eats, sleeps, and breathes Moodle and you will find her helping out on the forums of www.moodle.org or via the training centre based at her school www.ourlearning.co.uk. Mary will go anywhere to help you Moodle!
Mary is also the author of Moodle 2 First Look, the first ever book about the new features of Moodle 2. She also helps write the documentation on the main Moodle site, www.moodle.org and blogs on www.moodleblog.net.
