How will you assess the students learning? I can create a quiz on Edmodo and decide if I would like take it for a grade. Please identify opportunities for differentiation. I would create small groups using Edmodo and make different assign. or quizzes for the various group/level. || Reflections: || The students love using Edmodo and are quite excited about what is to come. We sent out the parent letter asking them to logon with their child’s code and so far so good. We spent some time logging in and going through rules for Edmodo (our "backpack"). My morning class was pretty good about uploading images for the math “note” and they were able to respond to some of the images. My afternoon class had HUGE glitches. All of the sudden Edmodo was not showing the "camera" at all and there was no one to reach out to for help. We are still having random issues with this. We wasted quite a bit of class time trying to figure it out and I felt bad for the kids b/c I had no clue what to do. It made no sense why it worked so well for one group and not the other. It caused some frustration and I even tried getting help from someone w/ Edmodo and was unsuccessful. Soooo I decided to go another route. I sent a new note for the subject of Science asking students what moon phase we would be in on a specific date and what important holiday would the Vietnamese be celebrating over the weekend. I did this in hopes of stimulating some thought for our next quick unit of study on Moon Phases. The students went nuts! :) They had parents uploading Edmodo on their phones. They went outside & took pictures of the moon, uploaded/posted them and some even did links. I also tried a quick 5 question quiz with the kids just to see if it worked and it did. Edmodo so far has been just baby steps but I am looking forward to learning so much more. ||
