Edomodo and May

Blogging does not come easily and time is very hard to find. Thinking of things to say is not so hard, but the time issue is a challenge. I keep trying.

So I noticed some new highlights on other blogs about Edmodo and I am thrilled that others are finding this FREE tool. I have been using Edmodo for 3 years now and really love it for many reasons. Always on the top of my list when evaluating tech tools is the ease of use and the ease of the learning curve. I find Edmodo extremely easy and friendly to use. It does not take very long for even the less tech savvy to navigate through some very basic use of Edmodo. And students also find it very easy to use. There are five teachers on my campus that now use it and I would like to see all of our teachers on board by next year. I think it would offer them a great place to interact with families and their students. A teacher on another blog has suggested and reminded readers that you are able to embed many other web tools into Edmodo, such as wallwisher (which I love but is still blocked at my school) and fotobabble (another that is surely blocked) which I do not have much experience in but looks promising and fun. Simply put, if you have not looked into using Edmodo for your class, put double stars next to it and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Speaking of blocked sites at school, my own blog here is blocked. Which makes writing all the more difficult as I am then only to write after hours or weekends. No brain storming during the day.

Trying a little fotobabble here with my dog Remi.
