Evidence 1:

Rationale 1: Using the Tomorrow River School District Moodle I am able to manage discussion forums, class resources, online reading, searches, and action assignments. My students are able to check in at any time from any location with internet access and keep track of their progress. Students are able to access their resources and submit assignments online via moodle.

KSD: 5.K.5The teacher recognizes factors and situations that are likely to promote or diminish intrinsic motivation, and knows how to help students become self- motivated. //Students thrive on knowing what expectations are for being successful in a class. Through moodle my students are able to track their progress and see what tasks they have completed and what tasks still lay ahead. They are also able to receive timely feedback on their progress.//

5.S.1The teacher creates a smoothly functioning learning community in which students assume responsibility for themselves and one another, participate in decision making, work collaboratively and independently, and engage in purposeful learning activities.

//Students are expected to use moodle independently to monitor their learning. They are also responsible for interacting with their peers in online discussion forums and collaborating on various activities outlined in the course resource list.//

5.D.4The teacher recognizes the value of intrinsic motivation to students’ life-long growth and learning.

//Using moodle allows me to provide very rapid feedback to my students. Feedback is very important to students’ intrinsic and motivation. Students are also able to keep track of the assignments they complete throughout the entire course. The small amount of incremental success students experience through the completion of assignments and being able to see their accomplishments provides for a strong sense of intrinsic motivation.//
