Gloucestershire Moodle TeachMeet

Sharing Afternoon: Tue 7th Dec

I have found that the biggest steps forward I have made with the VLE in my school are when I have discovered new ways of doing things by talking to teachers in other schools. This teachmeet will be dedicated to sharing what's going on in your school with your Moodle platform. If you want to come along and hear what other schools are doing with Moodle then this is the place to be. If you have some exciting stories to share then please come and share. We will make every effort to focus on how Moodle is helping to improve the learning experiences of the students, and how it is helping teachers become more effective and efficient.

This event will be hosted in Pate's Grammar School in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Although we anticipate Gloucestershire schools being the main audience, anyone from any school interested in sharing their experiences with Moodle would be very welcome to attend!
