We continuously find new social mediums to communicate with one another. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Skype, and even Oovoo are just a few new ways that we choose to converse with our friends and loved ones. These have actually trumped the traditional methods of communicating such as a good 'ol telephone call, a pleasant e-mail, or short text message. Education is no different! In science, we have recently started using a website named Edmodo.
Edmodo is the leading social learning network for K-12 education. This website provides students an opportunity to communicate with classmates and teachers on a consistent basis and to stay updated about assignments/events for class. Although we don't have a 1:1 laptop classroom, students will still have the opportunnity to utilize edmodo to submit assignments, join discussions, and ask for assistance for their individual needs.
Each student created an account in class, but it can be used at home. Students can even pull it up on their cell phone!
Parents, please ask students to show you the edmodo website. A parent code can be provided (upon request) to help you stay updated on your child's assignments.
Check it out! It actually looks a little like Facebook! =)
