 * Brainstorming Moodle Meeting**

Collaborative notes: []

William wants to set up a Moodle Moot @ MKA on a Saturday? what cost to participants? free? what goals for conference? what should we try to achieve?

POSSIBLE TOPICS: beyond the basics how is Moodle deployed for a classroom perspective required or not? technical deployment? sessions on specific activities... Top down vs home grown Getting your classroom Bring your Moodle... Show and tell. Case Studies teaching online how to get help/support vendors vs. self-hosted Moodle for English... Moodle for Math... Use case vs discipline specific

FORMAT: not a series of speakers blended format of in conference and defined sessions, 50/50 or 75/25 informational and hands-on "Genius Bar" or "drive by" type training be sure to have various strands... Teachers, admins, etc. build the sessions around a greeting started, like starting the year... For classroom teacher. Organize discipline specific demos i.e. Moodle for English, Moodle for Math OR case specific single vs double sessions start small for the first to become inspired... have sessions that address different uses of Moodle, variety and range have a session devoted to a Moodle-share, so people can see different ways of using Moodle make it a series of weekends... Less broad Create a Moodle site for event(s) that could then grow over time. Discussion forum, etc code the offerings for level/track

TIMING: Summer - affords time to play, schedules... Doesn't sound like it would fly. School year, Saturday Will come regardless if the topics/speakers are good. Beginning of school year or mid-year ongoing series...

send out a survey? collect data on schools using Moodle - can we get a survey out to NEIT while we’re here? just a quickie? tweet it?
