What’s on the #onepage now? #ade2018 #appleEduChat

I returned to the classroom a few days ago (for a Scot this seems far too early!) and so have cleared out the clutter along with the fridge and grouped my most used iPad apps together on a single page. This isn’t anything new – I know that @mcoutts81 amongst others have been doing this […]

Original blog URL is http://familysimpson.postach.io/post/edmodo-and-custom-rss-feeds-from-pinterest-and-pocket) In just over a month I will be running a workshop at the CAS Scotland conference about using Edmodo to help deliver CPD to staff.

Can two VLEs work together?

I’ve just updated a short VLE comparison document I created in March last year. Since then my school has moved forward with a locally hosted Sharepoint 2010 installation which, in the next few weeks, will become available to staff to allow them to populate department and extra-curricular group sites, create blogs and wikis using the […]

Higher Computing, Programming and Edmodo Badges

40 days since the start of term and my Higher Computing class are now comfortable using Edmodo. We have explored notification options and most of my students seem very quick to check the site when replies and new posts appear. I was online this evening and noticed that a few of the students had logged […]

Digging deeper with Edmodo

I learned a lot about Edmodo today. I used it and talked to other teachers about it a lot too. In fact, in the past week I think I’ve taught more classes through Edmodo than in the whole of last term! My learners have, on the whole, been fantastic adopters of the new system. My […]

Using Edmodo to Engage Learners From Day 1

Over the past week I have been introducing my S3, S5 and S6 pupils to their myriad Edmodo groups and getting them to set up their profiles, communication preferences and folders.

My school is to extend the trial of Edmodo until Christmas, allowing other teachers in my department to experiment with using Edmodo to positively impact their learning and teaching. This may prove to be the beginning of a big change in whole school policy as, up until […]
