For our leadership project Laura and I decided to showcase Edmodo to our colleagues. We chose Edmodo because it is a great way to manage a Flipped Classroom as well as a traditional classroom. It also can work for any and all subjects so it can be useful for all the teachers who participate in our Professional Development Seminar. Edmodo is a site where you can creates "pages" for each of your classes within which you can then add assignments, calendars, quizzes, polls, etc for your students to access at home. Students can then work on assignments at home and then post their final product directly to Edmodo, so rather than getting email after email with student work it is all conveniently stored on your Edmodo site, its even separated into classes! Edmodo is much safer than Twitter and Facebook but it also has an easy to follow set up that resembles Facebook so your students shouldn't have much trouble navigating the site. One of the main reasons Laura and I liked Edmodo as foreign language teachers was because we can have our students create recordings of themselves speaking on sites like Audacity which they can then upload it onto Edmodo for us to listen to!
We created a Powerpoint presentation below that we are using a storyboard to set up the order of our presentation. We plan on first showing teachers how to set up an account on Edmodo then we will showcase the different features Edmodo provides such as the calendar, how to post assignments, how to create polls and quizzes and just simply how to manage your pages. Included in the presentation are screen shots of the different features we will be highlighting to make it easy to follow. You can read our
script to see what exactly we plan on saying thoughout the presentation as well.
For our final product we plan on using Jing to create a video with our narration that will correlate with a Prezi featuring all the screen shots you see in our storyboard to create an easy to follow simple presentation.
