Summit Academy Schools
Welcome to the Summit Academy Moodle site!

For many of us who have been requesting this for years, it has finally come in Moodle 2.2. We can now use Safari!

The one detriment to using Safari previously has been the lack of the editing toolbar at the top of text fields. That is now fixed, allowing Safari to be used for everything in Moodle.

As anticipated, there is now an app available for Android based smart phone users. Called Droodle, it allows users to view all of their subjects and assignments as stored within the school's moodle site. Users can also easily create calendar tasks for individual assignment. It does, however, warn that it may not work for all sites.

Do you grade essays and other activities utilizing rubrics? If so, you might be interested in an upcoming feature of Moodle. With a newer release of Moodle software, teachers will be able to create, define, edit, and share rubrics used to grade certain assignments. It's really quite simple, too - just clicking on the appropriate box of the rubric assigns that grade to the student's work.

If you want a demonstration, watch this rather nice video of how to setup and use a rubric.
