Edmodo - Edmodo is a closed, private social network. EdCamp model - the Edcamp model puts the participants in the driver''s seat for PD (and meetings) and allows for PD to be more meaningful. This post originally appeared on Educational Technology Guy. Limit paper and make it easier to share resources.
For those who don''t know, Edcamp is a great series of free, unconferences for educators. The Edcamp model is unique in that attendees set the agenda the morning of the conference and the sessions are not led by one person, but are rather a collaboration of both the facilitator and attendees. I highly recommend Edcamps!
On December 1st, 2012, educators from NJ and surrounding areas congregated at Linwood Middle School in North Brunswick for EdcampNJ''s free day of professional development. I already use Edmodo as my online hub, but Cel.ly Keep those eyes peeled at Edcamp-- resources can be found anywhere! looks worth exploring more in depth.
Lisa has been using Edmodo for 2.5 In addition to creating Animoto videos, Lisa is active on Twitter (@SrtaLisa), writes about educational technology topics on her blog , and enjoys attending educational conferences. Lisa and I were lucky to connect during EdCamp Philly this past Spring!
Stop me in the hall, catch me on Edmodo, tweet to me, and I will just start gushing out of control. Sounds redundant, "professional educator," but really it isn''t--everything I have been doing has been outside of the classroom, yet still grounded in my teaching practice. So, I will just sum it all up here.
This summer, this online component will likely be hosted on Edmodo, itself a great communication tool. This course is designed to be helpful to SLPs and anyone else who works closely with language development issues, such as ESL/ELL teachers, literacy specialists, or special education teachers.
For those who don''t know, Educon is an educational conference that us put on by the students and staff of the Science Leadership Academy , lead by Chris Lehmann. Edcamps and TeachMeets are another example of how this can happen. Get up, move around, work in groups, have everyone collaborate in Edmodo or on a Google Doc.
Having an insatiable hunger to learn, I first dove into the professional education pool through Twitter. Discovering we have similar educational mindsets, they connected me to the #flipclass chat. KtBkr4 My wife is doing Edmodo but a different spin than you are so both would be great.
Educational Blogging: Flattening Classroom Walls by Linda Yollis and Kathleen Morris I am always inspired and in awe of these two women. Steven Anderson : I really liked his idea of using Edmodo and Twitter to connect with his new teachers and help them with the tools they needed and used in the classroom.
I also have my more immediate, connected family in my school and district with whom I enjoy discussing educational topics face-to-face. In honor of Connected Educator Month, I'd like to introduce you to -- even welcome you into -- my edu-family and help you grow a family tree of your own. So why should we be connected educators?
I found twitter, Edcamp and connected to teachers. I wanted a connected educator. I searched for twitter feeds, blogs, facebook, youtube, pinterest, edmodo and even school websites. I had clickers, a slate and a mindset that I could not and would not teach in a classroom without it. And then…everything changed… 1.
Here’s a big question: how can educators create learning experiences that foster collaboration, and problem solving, but also nurture imagination and curiosity during the school day? Similar to escape rooms , these educational games engage students in critical thinking, teamwork, and complex problem solving in a scavenger hunt format.
