Moodle, an online classroom system, has been getting both students and teachers excited about going to school each morning.

The new networking site provides students with many tools to communicate to each other and teachers, also allowing for work to be constructively criticised by students before work submission.

All work tasks and activities are uploaded by teachers, meaning that worksheets and excessive amounts of paper will no longer be used.

Assistant principal Allan Greenbank set up the site and both students and teachers have been getting enthusiastically involved in the program.

Mr Greenbank spends one lesson a week with teachers, providing them with tips and skills on how to better their Moodle usage.

Mr Greenbank said the site is entirely secure and allows teachers to track a students movement on the site via their email address.

Mr Greenbank said the greatest thing about the site is that it allows students to learn in an online learning environment.

"Kids are living in a digital world these days, so this program allows students to learn the way that they have become used to," Mr Greenbank said.

Moodle also allows for the curriculum to be individualised to suit each student, catering to the individual needs of a student.

"If a student is struggling in a particular area, Moodle allows them to focus on that area to improve their understanding," Mr Greenbank said.

"If a student is too shy to raise their hand in class to ask a question, they are able to contact their teacher via Moodle.

"It's an excellent communication tool."

Whyalla High School has recently received 138 new laptop computers, enabling almost each student to have access to a computer.

The use of Moodle also allows students to submit work from home, meaning that should a student be unable to attend school they are able to complete and submit work.

"The program allows us to make connections with schools and community bodies from anywhere," Mr Greenbank said.

Mr Greenbank said that by term three this year all students in the school will be using the system.
