Social+Networking



[|Edmodo] is an online classroom communications tool for teachers and students to share Notes, Files, links, and assignments similar to Twitter or Facebook. Teacher and students may sign up for free and use the 2.0 application to communicate regarding projects, grades, and other goings-on in the classroom. I did sign up as a teacher and create an account just for this project. I like the fact that is a environment for students free of advertisements and other distractions. My intent in using this to enhance the Model Mosques lesson is for students to communicate with one another as well as teachers as they research and work on their group projects.

Take a look at my edmodo document that includes screen shots of the project conversation strand. You may also use my name and fictitious password to access the account and see the conversation strand and investigate the social networking tool further.
