Thread:Using wikis in high schools (2)

Hi Robin. I'm back. I've found that students are reluctant to contribute to the discussions (forums) of the LMS. I'm hoping to improve that this year as we move to moodle from a commercial system. My requirement last year was that each student post at least 1 substantive study or homework question and 1 answer on each 4.5 week forum. This year I plan to start off with something totally non-threatening -- how do we reasonably share 100 loaves of bread--looking for the charitable options, not the math. Then, I think I'll move to a less structured, but still required, math forum. I'm still investigating moodle's capabilities on this, so we'll see how it goes.

BTW--Thanks for the comment -- I'm back to learning again.
