As your children may have mentioned, technology plays a large role in room D-109. :) I'm always looking for new technology to incorporate into our reading lessons!
We are going to begin using a site called Edmodo. It is set up similar to other social networking sites, but this is for educational purposes. Your students have (or will be doing so tomorrow) set up an account. In order to set up an account, a "secret code" was given to them. This code needed to be used for the students to join the site. This is a safe and secure site, where only people added to our group can see messages displayed. Edmodo gives your children the opportunity to respond to questions and polls online, through the class I have created. I will be posting a question on Mondays that will need to be answered by Friday afternoon. Your children can access the site through internet at home, as well as at school. There is also an Apple Edmodo app, which I put on my phone this afternoon. Students will also be able to post during our short homework period, if internet access is not available at home.
