More ways to use Edmondo in the classroom.


I love that Edmondo is way to extend the learning time for students.  Teachers have the ability to post hyperlinks to videos, games, and other informational websites.  ELA teachers can include a virtual scavenger hunt in which the students will have to follow the teacher-created links to answer questions and complete the quest.   Another great idea that ELA teachers can do is create silent ELA auction.  She can upload students poems, without the students names on it, and have the students vote on each piece of work.  This encourages students to read each others work and post their positive comments.  Another great idea is to have students create video clips of a journalistic approach to answering questions.  One student can act as the journalist and record their classmates’ answers using a flip camera.

  2. I love the idea of posting the poems and having students post comments. This would be a great way to encourage students to think reflectively. Since they are anonymously posted you could have them post constructive criticism, as well. This would help students to improve their writing.
