    Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate, share content and educational applications, and access homework, grades, class discussions and notifications. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner.

    Facebook is not an option at our school. I don't see it ever being an option. Edmodo though is used in a local district and I just saw a presentation on it on last year. Looks very interesting.

    I think edmodo would be good for sharing ideas between teachers on committees gathering materials for professional development.

  • Learning becomes less about pounding facts into individual students' brains and more about how to think collaboratively and critically. To be effective, collaborative learning requires mutual respect among all the players involved, a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, being open to criticism and a desire to share knowledge, and being responsible for and accountable to the group as a whole.

      Powerful statement that includes being respectful to others. Lifelong learning skills!

    This article really drove home the idea again for changing our education system to adapt to the times. The factory system connection and the way different ideologies influenced our teaching is very powerful. We need to be setting critical thinking skills at the forefront of our objectives. We are looking for students to continue their life with a thirst of finding out more.

  • , and it provides a safe learning environment that is constantly monitored by teachers and administrators. It also provides teachers and students with specific ePals email so students do not need school or personal email addresses. The ePals email is part of the login system, can be fully monitored at all times by the teacher, and is how students and teachers communicate with their fellow ePals.

    On this blog a fourth grade classroom teacher shares how she and another teacher (that she connected with via twitter) collaborated to use Skype to connect and complete a Mystery State Project. I think that this is a neat idea and that my fourth grade teachers would be interested in trying this.

  • There are many fun projects where teachers are seeking collaboration from all over the world. You may well find something interesting and relevant to your class needs, or can take part in an additional fun project on a longer term basis with your class. If you are unable to find something that meets your needs, you have the option to create your own project with your own goals, expectations and parameters and seek other people from around the world to join you in your chosen project

      Unbelievable how collaboration is changing. I'm fortunate to teach in a big building with other Business Teachers, but teachers from smaller districts where they may be on their own, what a great tool.

    I like the idea that you have access to all of your revisions. Too often students revised something and it is not really better. They might want to go back to the original one but they do not have it saved. This way they can go back and see the progress they have made. It is also an easy way for others to help with editing.
