My second Independent Learning Project is through edmodo and its basically assignments, quizzes, links and fun things for the students to get involved with and for the parents to keep track of different things going on!

Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI also made an Edmodo for my ILP! I really loved the schedule you made for your students, that would be really helpful for parents. It is really cool that the same technology can be used for both your kindergarten class and my high school class. Do you think there will be challenges trying to get your young students to learn how to use Edmodo?
I most definitely do! I think my main idea was to have the parents also involved! I wasn't the students and parents working together and becoming familiar with the material!
DeleteYour page has a lot of assignments that range in content to great job with that. I would recommend that you add a little bit more about you so the parents can get to know you. Maybe an about me, or a cool video you have made.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI used Edmodo for my last ILP! I loved how you added previous assignments we've done in class onto it, so creative! I also liked how you added polls to help your students feel more involved. I agree with Ciara though, I questioned myself when I was creating my Edmodo how well younger children would be able to use it so I focused more on parents in mine. Overall really interesting I like it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you focusing on the parents however I want the parents to be involved with their kids! And thank you
DeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteI really like your edmodo! I made one for my last ILP, but love seeing all of these with ideas and tools I didn't even think to use! I like that you went through asking students to vote on their favorite parts of the day or their opinion on how they felt on their last test. It is definitely an easy way to receive feedback and get to know your students a little more. I understand what Ciara is saying, that it might be hard for such young students to learn to use edmodo. However, if you are successful, having you students so capable of using edmodo at such a young age will definitely help them in the future. How do you think you will accomplish making such young kids comfortable using technology/ how will it effect your grading if they don't do an assignment for lack of know how?
Thank you! I think sitting down and working with them each one on one and teach them how to use it and them maybe having them teach their parents that way they can really master the skills. I won't hold it against them more so ill make them do it during class time and explain it to them. But i do want as much parent involvement as possible.
