Talk to Ken about importing your classes to Moodle! This makes a streamlined and easy way to get using it right away. If you end up having some students create themselves in Moodle using the “New Account” form available from the front page, there is an extra step that you have to do to give them access to Google Apps.

How To Have a Student Create Their Moodle Account:
Be sure when students create their accounts in Moodle that they follow these guidelines. Otherwise their accounts will be removed!

The username needs to be the same as their First Class name (i.e. their first initial, middle initial, last name, last two digits of graduating year. A student named John H Doe who would graduate in 2012 would use the username jhdoe12.) Their password needs to be their lunch code or student id number.

To Enable Google Apps for a Self-Added Student:
After the student has successfully logged in, they’ll be shown the home page. Before they do anything else, have them scroll to the top of the page and click on their full name in the bar.
They will be presented with multiple tabs one of which is “Edit Profile”. Under the Edit Profile tab they should see a place to change their email. Their email must read username@lovelandhs.org or they will be unable to access Google Apps. If their email address does not end in "lovelandhs.org" Google Apps will give an "Email is invalid error".
There is also a “Description” Field on this form if you scroll down. Type “Student” in the description. Then submit the form using the button at the bottom of the page and return to the Moodle home page. After this the student should be able to use Google Apps and Moodle to their heart’s content.
