The Moodle Biology Teacher

Our first guest at Coffee with a Geek is Lancaster Biology teacher Amy Balling.  Amy's, Balling Biology, Moodle Course has been legendary here in Western New York.

Amy's Moodle Course

Interactive, innovative, and chock full of high order thinking skills, this hybrid Moodle course is designed to help students navigate the exploration of biology.  The Moodle course is an extension of Amy's high octane teaching style, and superior geeky brain.  When viewing Amy's class in action, we found students enter the room, get ready for instruction, listen to the assignment for the day.... and.... get right to work using laptops, iPod Touch's and yes... even pencil and paper.  Group activity.... Check.... Technology integrated learning... Check... Self guided exploration.... Check.  Amy is well organized and committed to bringing biology concepts and skills to the learners of a new generation.
