  10. Summing it all Up The new picture model has made it easier for all students to use the Moodle site. There are less distractions and fewer places to get lost. When students are absent I email the Unit and lesson we studied. Missed work is completed in fewer days. Students who don’t read well feel comfortable listening & reading. Some students who read very well also prefer to listen & read. The new format keeps me organized & on task. Accommodations can be made in a more private manner. This has made a difference in behavior & performance.

  11.
