 * Reflections:** || I was pleasantly suprised with how quickly my students were able to access Edmodo, click on the link, and view my blog. My students were able to navigate through my blog with ease (only 3 or 4 were confused) and respond (post on my discussion board) to the question I had posted for them on my blog. ||
