About Moogie - for Teachers

Moogie on the Net can be used by Teachers for free!

All teachers who sign up and create an account are automatically granted a Free Basic Membership - pretty cool, eh?

Special Note: Right now through November 1, 2008, all teachers who use Moogie are automatically given Gold Membership status!

Getting Students

Teachers typically create their own students' Moogie accounts. Students can also sign up on their own and use Moogie without a teacher, and you can simply become their teacher (in Moogie's eyes, kind of like adopting them) if you want.

Working with students

Students typically do their work with Moogie in either the General Arena or the area for Assessments.

• General Arena - The General Arena is divided into strands. You can instruct students which strand you would like them to work in, although they are free to work where ever they wish. Moogie uses his patent-pending scoring method to focus students' efforts where they need the most help. Teachers can see exactly how their students are doing overall, by strand, by Learning Objective, and even by each question. For each, teachers can see both the students' Scores and their trends.

• Assessments - Moogie offers quite a few Common Assessments students can take. After taking an Assessment, students who do not do well are encouraged to do A.W.W.S. Workouts that let them Actively Work the Weak Spots they had on the Assessment. Teachers can see at a glance all their students, how each has done on the Assessments they've taken, and how much AWWS follow-up work they've done for each. Teachers can also view how a class does, overall, on each specific question. It's pretty powerful!

Free Features for All Teachers include:

• Objective Hot Spots - Teachers can instantly see the overall troublesome Learning Objectives (and the strongest ones, too) that their students are having

• Red Flags - See which specific questions are troubling your students. Then work with them to "stomp out their Red Flags."

• Track Records - All student activity and progress is completely logged so teachers can see who has done what, and when they did it.

• Communicator - Similar to Instant Messaging, teachers and students can send messages to one another. Teachers can also send messages to other teachers at their school who also use Moogie on the Net.

• Question Inspector - Take a look at the questions your students are seeing and working with.

• Assessment Handouts - Teachers can create printable Handouts for their students. This is ideal for situations where you want students to be able to do their work in a real test-like situation. It's also well-suited for classrooms with limited computer time or resources. Students can then quickly enter which questions they missed, and Moogie will instantly create personalized AWWS Workouts for those who need them. Free Basic members are permitted to create three Handouts; Gold Members do not have this limitation.

Additional Features for Gold Member Teachers

• Unlimited Students: Gold Member teachers have no limitation on the number of classes or students that they may have.

• Design MEPs: Instead of having students do Work-Outs in the entire General Arena, easily create Moogie Educational Plan(s) and select precisely which Learning Objectives you want your students to work on.

• Create Assessments: Create your own Assessments for students which cover the Learning Objectives you need to assess. You can also automatically create Assessments based on your students' Hot Spots and Red Flags. It's pretty amazing! And with all these Assessments, you can...

• Create Unlimited Handouts: Gold Member teachers can create as many printable Handouts from as many Assessments as they like!

But Your Support is Needed

I believe that any student who wants math help should be able to get it without having to worry about how to pay for it. But I still have to pay my electric bill, so to help with this, I ask that people who visit Moogie on the Net to please spend a minute or so to check out the Google ads. Unfortunately, those clicks don't add up nearly enough to cover expenses. That's why I've introduced Teacher Gold Memberships - hopefully, teachers will find that Moogie's extra features are worth $20 a month.
