The Beginning of the End...
I have heard great things about Edmodo and have been looking for new things to try out in my classroom. Before I begin using this new tool, however, I want to test it out. This sounds easy enough, but it's summer vacation and my access to small children is limited! Good thing I have a sister near by who is willing to loan out her two girls! My nieces will be starting third and fourth grade in the fall and will act as my guinea pigs for this final project. They are super excited to be helping me with my 'college homework'! This afternoon, we will start with the basics of setting up accounts (with their mother's blessing, of course) and passwords. Each day this week, we will explore the site together and find out what all we can do!

Emily,
ReplyDeleteEdmodo is a wonderful tool. I just received an email that the site has a new look and is more user friendly. My 8th grade students love earning badges. You may want to check-out the parent component to the site to utilize during the school year. By-the-way, Edmodo has very informative Webinars if you have the time.
Good luck,
Kim
Emily,
ReplyDeleteI am also new to Edmodo, but have heard wonderful things! It will be interesting to follow your journey and maybe learn more about this tool, myself!

Kim-I actually signed up for a webinar today...now I just have to figure out what time it starts! Do they have webinars for figuring out time zones?!? :)
ReplyDeleteI love family and I think it is great that they are willing to help you out. Good luck with your experiment.
