The MOOSE Method

The MLTI Team is excited to announce the release of a new spinoff series, called Capitol Connections. These episodes will examine projects and teams throughout the Maine Department of Education, showcasing how they are transforming learning for students throughout Maine. The goal of Capitol Connections is to shine a light on some of this great work while hearing from the people who make it possible. For our inaugural episode, we are exploring MOOSE (Maine Online Open Source Education) with the MOOSE team. We will hear from team leaders, Kristen Shaw, Andrew Doak, and Stephanie Connors, along with an interview with the MOOSE Project Manager, Jenn Page. Come hear about the MOOSE project, the MOOSE method, and the fantastic MOOSE website that houses all of their great content. The Maine Department of Education’s website describes MOOSE as: In response to the inequitable access to in-person education faced by Maine students at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, MOOSE was created to leverage the expertise of Maine educators to develop a free resource for online learning. Now entering its fourth year, MOOSE continues to innovate and evolve, expanding the capabilities of our dedicated online platform and working with educators to develop modules that fit within dedicated PreK-12 learning progressions. What started as an emergency response has become a growing repository of quality content and resources that are used as support-rich enhancements to school based education. MOOSE has also become known for its quality professional development, helping Maine educators expand and deepen their own practice even as they create content for the platform. The relationships and learning that come from being on a MOOSE team, along with the support to innovate and iterate on their ideas, are what keeps these educators coming back session after session as Instructional Designers. https://www.maine.gov/doe/moose To learn more about MOOSE and examine MOOSE content, their website is: learnwithmoose.maine.gov To contact Jenn Page and the MOOSE team: jennifer.page@maine.gov To contact the MLTI and Learning Through Technology Teams: doe-ltt@maine.gov Mobile friendly archive of every episode of the show: https://t.co/jHfsnavNm6 You can find the Learning Through Technology team on X at: x.com/mainedoeltt Music Credits: All music was created with loops in Soundtrap.
