The students loved Edmodo. I created a 13 question quiz to determine the students familiarity and prior knowledge of their upcoming spelling words. The spelling words came from Unit 1 Week 2 in the 5th grade Reading Street program. After completing the quiz, I created 2 polls for the students to complete. The first poll pertained to the quiz, the latter asked about their favorite color. This was fun practice for them, and valuable experience for me. They enjoyed taking the polls and many students liked the ability to comment/post on the news feed.
I planned ahead for their excitement over posting and responding to posts. With the help of Quail Hollow's Ed Tech, Danae Reff, we tackled the tough topic of Cyber-Bullying. We laid ground rules and procedures for operating online. We talked about consequences and possible issues that could arise if students were irresponsible with online forums. The discussion was incredibly insightful, and relayed information that is critical in this modern day of technology. Even if I never use Edmodo again, the insight and conversation spawned from this exercise was invaluable to their development in the digital world.
