See instructions below to see how to log in. This information is also on the main page of Moodle before you sign in. Setting up your Volmail and logging into Moodle is vital to this course. It will be your connection to knowing your progress in the course. You will receive important messages through Moodle. Also, remember to get set up with Voltext if you have a cell phone. That way you will know when the school is closed because of weather or other emergencies. Attention Students Using Moodle After the end of the spring 2011 semester, you will have a new Moodle username that is tied to your new Volmail account. Your old student ID username accounts were disabled June 9, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. Use your new accounts. Your new login and password follow this pattern: username: first initial of your first name followed by your last name and the last four digits of your student ID number. password: the two-digit day of your birth followed by the two-digit month of your birth and the last four digits of your social security number. This does not apply to those logging into Blackboard. 10. Electronic Devices. Cell phones, MP3 players, lap tops (used for anything other than taking notes), I Pads and the like, are prohibited during class. Please put cell phones on silent or vibrate. Please only answer calls that you think are an emergency. Please leave the classroom when answering those calls. Do not text during class. I CAN SEE YOU! THERE ARE NO TABLE CLOTHS TO HIDE YOUR HANDS!
