Presentation at National Conference

Assistant Principal Tina Aomarere recently presented at the national Learning @ Schools conference in Rotorua attended by over 1200 teachers and educationalists.  Ms Aomarere was invited to show how she and other staff at the College use our Learning Management System, called ‘Moodle'.  Her enthusiasm for the use of ‘Moodle' as a teaching and learning tool was obvious and was well received by conference delegates.  Well done Ms Aomarere on teaching the rest of New Zealand on how it is done.

All our junior students use their ‘Moodle' to receive and complete work from their teachers online.  The ‘Moodle' enables students to be involved with interactive lessons which can give them instant feedback on how well they understand their work or enable them to undertake various activities in the virtual world.

Parents who wish to see what their children are doing can do so from home if they have internet access.  Students can also use their ‘Moodle' from home to review work, test themselves, take quizzes which assist learning. In the near future parents will also be able to view student information online from our Student Management System (KAMAR) including information on attendance, NCEA results etc.
