PD+Interests

Hi! How can a NLSD 113 teacher sign up for a Moodle account with Edcentre ? We have a separate instance of Moodle set up for all northern educators called the Northern Learning Network. You can set up a forum style space, a classroom space, a space for archiving and sharing resources or any other purpose that seems to make sense. The digital world is your oyster! Answer: Call Ted Green at 1-888-299-5680 or Dean Squires at 425-2155 or if you are in La Loche, Stephen King will set up a room for you.
