  5. Why Moodle At Ortega? • Fill Instructional Gaps while supporting meaningful, authentic learning opportunities for allof our students. • It’s free! We can host it on our District website and link it to our school’s homepage. • Perkin’s Grant funding can assist our staff with training (Release time for substitute teachers & conference costs) • Cal State LA’s “Moodle in a Day” Workshops

  6. What Are The Gaps Here? • Poor student attendance due to illness, work, family transportation conflicts, and other personal issues. • Teacher-Student-Family conflicts that impact course success and/or graduation. • Course sequencing conflicts and courses not offered that restrict college entrance.

  7. Piloted Through Pathways • Academic Year 2012-2013 technology courses at Ortega High School (Entrepreneurship Pathway) • Business Computers • Accounting • Career Education • MS Office Specialist • Virtual Enterprise
