Moodle Moodle is our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) it allows resources, instructions and assessments to be shown on line. It is accessible from any computer with an internet connection. This is useful is many ways, during absence it is possible to get access to all learning materials, so time can be spent productively. Each pupil has an email address and password to gain access to the VLE, they can then use all of the material provided, parents can see what their daughters are doing in class and blogs can be shared with the school community (no exterior access is permitted) or kept private to the author. A range of media is used by subjects to engage learners: video, podcasts, quizzes and surveys, more are being introduced as we improve our system. E-safety As a school we take e-safety very seriously. We have a CEOP Ambassador who builds the e-safe message into every Opening Minds module. Assemblies on the subject are regular events and we always observe Internet Safety Week. We make every effort to warn your daughter about the possible dangers of the internet and electronic communication. Making each pupil a sensible, mature and knowledgeable user of Information Technology is one of the main objectives of our curriculum. Page 4 of 19
