Our 2nd guest blog post in the series is by Nira Dale, a 9th grade English teacher in Florence, Alabama, and a very active member of the Language Arts community on Edmodo. You can follow Mrs. Dale's educational adventures on her very impressive blog: Mrs. Dale is a whiz with implementing tech tools in her classroom. Take a look at what she learned during EdmodoCon 2013.
from EdmodoCon 2013
- Create CCSS Edmodo quizzes that strategically tie standards to each question for even more comprehensive feedback.(Stibaly Johnson)
- Navigate and utilize the Common Core Consortium website.(Stibaly Johnson)
- Attempt to "Meyerize" my English class--Not sure exactly how yet...But I'm determined... (Kim McMonagle)
- Flip the learning inside out by assigning my students a block of time to create "30 sec. Lessons" (Patrick Fogarty)
- Organize my lessons and relative resources into eTexts --iBook Author (Patrick Fogarty)
- BACK CHANNELING (Edmodocon.)
- "Let students digitize their work samples by having them take a picture of their written work for assessment.( Kate Baker/ Liz Calderwood)
- Use Mp3 apps for students who are not as comfortable with video presentations. Audio podcast allow students to focus mainly on speaking and listening--CCSS :-) (Kate Baker/ Liz Calderwood)
- Set a goal to go paperless! (Melissa Butler/ Kate Baker)
- Have students create a fictitious commercial in a project-based learning activity to support their conclusions/ stand on the given issue--Make it very real-world. (Bijal Damani)

I hope to apply these strategies as soon as my school year begins.
