PE5 - Edmodo

I would like to share some more detailed things that I have done with Edmodo. First let me show you my groups.

Here is a screenshot of my "interface." You can see that students have already posted.

 













The nice thing about the "teachers view" is that you can see everything from everybody, without having to dig too deep into the application. Of course you can't do everything on the surface, but there is a lot of stuff available at your fingertips.

One really nice feature available on Edmodo is the fact that you can create small groups from within the members of the larger groups. So I have created some small groups in each of the classes. These can be used for specific discussions, project - related meetings, etc.

The more that I get into Edmodo, the more I'm getting out of it. I suppose that's the way it is supposed to work. I love the fact that it is very well - designed, but at the same time, communication between student and teacher can be very informal.

Here is the first "blanket" message I sent to everybody.

I can not wait to get parents involved. I truly believe that this will be a huge asset to building community and communication between both myself and students and their parents. I also can't wait to see what student interaction and networking will come about as a result of this tool.

I think I am going to post something new right now!!!
