Edmodo

Thank you to all parents who came to Back to School Night. I mentioned Edmodo and I wanted to give you more information. Edmodo is an educational tool that is supposed to emulate Facebook but be safe and for teachers and students to use. I have used it for 3 years and it is amazing. First, there are many security measures in place so it is much better than Facebook. I can delete any conversation and students cannot message each other. Also, they only have to provide a first name and they need a code to get into the system. So, creepers cannot infiltrate our system. Second, we can discuss and collaborate on school curriculum during and after school so it extends our day. Third, the kids can build a support system out of school and always get in touch with me.

I like the open communication and the ability to post videos to support their learning. I will sign students up this week and hopefully you will hear how wonderful it is from your students. Thank you!
