Casper Focus will also be a topic
If you are interested in using Casper Focus to "focus" your students on an app (which will not allow them to go anywhere else on their iPad while you have them "focused"), you will have the opportunity to learn about this during Appy Hour as well. If you are interested in learning about this, please bring your laptop and your class rosters to Appy Hour.
We heard you!
Many of you have voiced an interest in learning more about how to effectively use Edmodo in your classrooms! With that in mind, we want to offer you the opportunity to learn how you can use Edmodo in the way it best meets YOUR needs! Here are just SOME of the possible ways you might be interested in using Edmodo (or tell us something specific YOU want to know!):
Personal, Professional Use
- Additional help with uploading lesson plans, or adding/editing them through PC or iPad
- Ideas for using the Learning Communities - ways to just get ideas or collaborate with others
- Sharing quizzes with other teachers
Formative Assessment
- Creating Quizzes
- Polls
- Exit Tickets
- Snapshot
Classroom Management
- Edmodo lesson planner for your students
- Parent involvement (parent codes, what a parent sees...)
- Setting Group Preferences to encourage/minimize student discussion in your group
Another Choice....Google Drive
Google Drive
We will also offer the opportunity for you to learn about Google Drive. Like Edmodo, Google Drive can be used by you and or by your students. You may want to learn:
- The Basics: Accessing your Google Drive & Calendar, Uploading your documents so they can be accessed from any device
- Ways to collaborate with your peers: Help with navigating our shared files (HMS Information, or your subject matter folder which allows you to share files with eachother without having to send multiple emails)
- Adding apps: Google Drive lets you view files, but with Docs, Sheets, & Slides, you can not only view but EDIT Word, Excel, & Powerpoint files or create them from scratch!
- Forms for Formative Assessment or Student Feedback
- Steps for your students to access & use Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides
