Member Teresa Perles introduced the Edmodo way of integrating ICTs at the BC conference last 1 October
“LEARNING GETS PERSONAL: DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION WITH EDMODO"
In her own words:
Edmodo is a learning management system enjoyed by over 64
million users all over the world. Its powerful features allow teachers to
communicate with students and parents, share resources, set quizzes, polls and
assignments, and much more. We will see how I implement these features to
differentiate the scaffolding I provide for my students through the phases of
content introduction, controlled practice and free writing practice, and how I
use it to integrate different digital tools in just one place. If time allows,
we will see how it can be used for gamification and silent debate, or language
exchange programs, too.
At the end of the session, the participants will have working
knowledge of Edmodo and ideas on how to implement it in their practice.
