Since the drive is really starting to run smoothly now, I decided to focus my time at our World Language department meeting on teaching a "Tech Tip" to my colleagues. In today's session I introduced the site Edmodo.com
Edmodo is a great online communication tool, almost the "social networking of education". I started using it last year with my students and have really enjoyed it. I think my students really like it too, especially how it looks like Facebook and they can add a picture of themselves to their profile.
I've used it to post assignments and reminders, ask questions/polls, and collect assignments. My students can post comments, responses, and turn in assignments all through the site.
It's a pretty neat site, it's free, and it's supported by HCPSS. What's better than that!?!
Overall, I think my very first "tech tip" of the month was a success! I definitely introduced a new tech tool and offered to meet with teachers individual to help them with set-up if needed.
