So Many Great Changes! Now Google Voice
When I think back to last year and how far our personal financial literacy class has come I really get excited. In addition to upgrading Moodle software and the Moodle server we have over hauled the first two modules to include much more communication and collaboration and we have even more planned for the following modules. Instructional videos have been added to assist students in completing assignments and with the addition of the TEACHER TEXT HELP DESK using Google Voice we think this will be the best year yet!

Personal Financial Literacy Updates!
Wow! Our first year has come to an end and we are already hard at work trying to make the coming 2012-2013 school year even better.
What are some of the specifics that we are doing, well glad you asked, some things you will notice right away and other things are items that we are upgrading to make your PFL experience more enjoyable.
First of all we took a long reflective look at all of the valuable feedback that students, parents and others provided to us at the conclusion of the 2012 school year. After focusing on a few key areas we are going to attempt to provide more timely feedback to each student.
We have changed the look of the PFL class but the focus of the class remains the same. We have upgraded the Moodle server to reduce the amount of time you have to wait between actions. We have upgraded the software from Moodle v1.9 to Moodle v2.3 (the newest version available)
*Just as a note Moodle is an open source content management system (CMS) which is free to download and use thus saving the district resources.
We have also found quite a few new web 2.0 tools that will hopefully allow for more collaboration amoung students and communication from teacher to student.
As you can tell we are really excited about all of the changes and improvements for the coming year, as always if you have a comment or question please feel free to comment or contact us directly.
