Have you ever wanted to do a school-wide or classroom book review? \u00a0Moodle is a powerful tool that allows a teacher to do many types of projects with students. \u00a0A good example of how you can use Moodle for a project is doing Book Reviews. \u00a0With Moodle you can have a central location for book reviews written by your students. \u00a0Ratings, genres, comments and many other features can be added to create the ultimate book review. \u00a0You can totally customize the forms and look of the book review too!<\/p>\n

Dearborn High School has been working on a book review project in the library. \u00a0Lets take a look at what they have done. \u00a0Click on the images below to enlarge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students must first find and enter the DHS Book Review course. \u00a0This is a simple course with only the Book Review Activity.<\/p>\n

\"Database<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When they click on the Book Review activity they are shown a list of book reviews written by classmates.<\/p>\n

\"list<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When a student clicks on title of a book they are taken to the review .<\/p>\n

\"single<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They can also search for titles of interest using the search feature.<\/p>\n

\"search\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And finally, the student can add to the Book Review by using a simple form. \u00a0 They upload cover art and their review in one easy-to-use form.<\/p>\n
