Assignments Matter Workshop--an amazing opportunity with much to gain and nothing to lose...except the inattention of students!

Blasia Modawar is hosting a workshop on February 25th called "Creating an Extension of the Classroom: Using Edmodo and Google Docs For Collaboration and Creation." Come join us and learn how to incorporate online platforms into your classroom! Attendees will receive light refreshments and Act 48 credits!

Workshop Description: 21st Century teaching requires us as teachers to show students not only how to write, but also how to the utilize the internet and all its applications for publishing. During this workshop, teachers will learn and create free Edmodo and Google Docs accounts in order to have students extend their learning from home. Teachers will learn how to use popular features for classroom teachers such as creating engaging writing assignments (Edmodo), developing live collaboration for writing assignments (Google Docs), and embedding web-based grammar/writing applications (NoRedInk) that truly show a students' grasp of grammatical concepts. The presenter will demonstrate her own classroom use of both of these applications to model an effective way to engage and prepare the 21st century student writer.

Share and tag your teacher friends! As always, comment with any questions. You may RSVP on this thread or by personally contacting Blasia Modawar via e-mail: [email protected]
