For our Leadership Project my partner and I decided to create our Flipped PD Presentation on the technology tool Edmodo. Edmodo is a great tool for all teachers whether they want to create a Flipped Classroom or not. It provides a great platform for teachers to post assignments and quizzes for students to do as homework as well as a great storage space for resources and student work.
This presentation would be great for a professional development seminar. Its a fairly short and concise video (4 minutes long) that could be presented to a room full of teachers to give them a new way to organize their classroom using technology. I would suggest to have the teachers start off by trying Edmodo with one or two classes so they can get used to using it then gradually add on other classes if they like using Edmodo.
In order to get feedback on the usefulness of our Flipped PD presentation I would like to have the teachers as well as the students fill out a survey giving their opinion and listing things that they like and did not like. The feedback from the students will be especially helpful because they can compare their class before and after Edmodo. Teachers could also compare their classes with and without Edmodo to see if Edmodo helps with students turning in assignments on time (since its all done online).
Overall, I think that Edmodo is a great tool for us as educators to bring our classrooms outside of the four walls of the school building. I hope you enjoy our presentation and find it useful for your classroom!
