Come see--it's BYOD!
Bring Your Own Device Classroom Initiative
Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
We will be using different applications to immerse students into a creative new realm of learning. Students will each have their own Edmodo account for our class. This is where they will be able to see all of the assignments and tasks for our course and connect with myself and each other. I have several other interactive applications set for our lessons in different subjects. It's sure to be an engaging and fun classroom experience.
To get a head start and help prepare your students for this endeavor, I recommend familiarizing yourself with your devices and educational technology. It would also be great to go over "Digital Citizenship" with your students to make sure they understand responsible online usage before we begin at the start of the school year.
I hope both you and your children are ready for this exciting initiative! It is going to be a wonderful experience for us all, and I am looking forward to beginning our journey!
Thank you,
Macey Kessler
