Edmodo

I just recently went to a technology convention, and I need a place to organize all of my new ideas for my computer lab so that I don't forget them!

I wanted to start with Edmodo first since I've already implemented this into my lab, but I would like to do more with it.

• All warm ups and exit tickets will be created as notes
• Long-term assignments will be uploaded to Edmodo and will need to be submitted to me in order to get graded
• Calendar will be used for due dates (like homework, for example), and school happenings
• Folders will be used to share useful links with the students, important files, and general class information for the lab and each class
• Groups can be created within the class for "chatrooms" so that the page doesn't get junked up by comments (example that I saw on http://keystrokes.wonecks.net was that the students watched brainpop videos on digital etiquette and had a chat with each other during the movies to reflect on the topics being discussed in the movies
• Will use badges as a reward system, create badges to go with Class Dojo, typing speeds, various "Badge of the Day" badges with cool "collectable" badges
• Get to know App feature and provide useful apps to the students
