Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

I found the info page from educator’s technology particularly interesting. There was not a lot of information on the initial page, but you were linked to a slides presentation from a user named seyfert6. The presentation addresses 21 ways in which Edmodo can be used in the classroom. The slides are packed with Ideas and information. The suggestions start off simple with blogs and flat Stanley projects. Students are able to create profiles for relevant figures. I thought this could be a cool way to get students to research some of the founding scientists. They could create a social media account for a historical figure and create posts that would be relevant to that individual. The presentation many numerous recommendations for class activities such as in-class movies, read aloud, enforcing complete sentence structures while removing bad text writing habits. Since Edmodo offers accounts to parents as well, teachers can use this web based tool for communication with both students and parents to send reminders, updates, and encouragement. It also creates a seamless method of contact for parents with questions or concerns. One aspect that I am curious about is connecting with other classrooms. This presentation stated this as an option. I would be curious to see how this worked. I could see utilizing this in a pen pal like setting or virtual field trips. I could also see a fun lesson with creating a scavenger hunt and splitting students into small groups. This hardly puts a dent in the amount of ideas this user has created.
