F-day is almost here…
Friday, October 23rd, 2009The new de Ferrers Frog VLE is almost ready to launch…this will be our second VLE, after a very successful few years using Netmedia’s MG4L, making us one of the country’s most experienced VLE users. There is already considerable excitement building, with 200-300 people logging in everyday to check it out.
On 2/11/09 we officially make the move to Frog for all de Ferrers students and staff. Parents will be able to access Frog in January 2010.
So what have we been doing behind the scenes?
- Trying various tools out with the New Technology Development Leaders, our resident ICT experts
- Checking different login profiles
- Adding learning resources in many subjects and curriculum areas
- Starting to build mini-websites for some subjects, including the learning centre
What will we be doing over the next few weeks?
- Adding even more learning resources for students to use
- Advertising for student ‘Frog Agents’ to help develop the platform, build webpages and modferate forums
- Creating widgets that can be added to your Frog area
