Edmodo's Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, will once again kick off EdmodoCon as our opening keynote speaker. Tune in to hear Nic discuss Edmodo's vision of the future of education and provide a sneak peek at some exciting updates for the new school year.
Edmodo is excited to begin a new partnership with the Lean In organization to help provide educators with resources around building confidence and leadership amongst students. In this video session, Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg will speak on the importance of talking openly with students and provide additional information on how to access these new resources.
This session has something for everyone! Find out how using Edmodo from simple post and reply, to formative assessment tools, to using Edmodo apps empowers teachers to create diverse and rich learning opportunities for their students that develop multiple skills at once. Learn how to put it all together to meet common core standards and achieve the growing list of goals classroom teachers are reaching for everyday.
Edmodo supports educators to design rigorous learning opportunities. Learners can connect and extend their thinking throughout the learning process. In this session we’ll look at how we can design constructivist learning to support rigorous science, math, engineering learning so that our learners are well prepared for any STEM-related career. Join me in sharing what works in education to empower STEM learning.
Mobile computing classrooms can address the three most important elements of modern learning: equal access to technology and resources for all students, engagement through cloud-accessible mixed-media lessons, and anticipation of the demands of the 21st century workplace. Edmodo helps us address all three of these tenets and provides a centralized learning space for the classrooms of the present and future (which is looking less and less like the classrooms of the previous two hundred years).
How can teachers implement technology in the classroom when not in a 1:1 environment? In this session teachers will learn how to blend Edmodo, BYOD, and 1:1 (when you can be) to create a classroom routine that accommodates all learners. This paperless-flipped approach is based on the idea of not reinventing the wheel, but taking previously designed paper lessons and making them digital using Edmodo's capabilities, various free apps and web 2.0 tools. Educators will walk away with innovative teaching techniques, formative and summative assessments, and instructional design that can be implemented in any subject area.
In 2010 the Global Read Aloud was created to ensure that all students had the opportunity to connect with others around the globe. The project, now gearing up for its fourth year, has introduced a global collaboration network to more than 900 educators, as well as introduced technology such as Edmodo to more than 30,000 students on 6 continents. This presentation will focus on how Edmodo has facilitated both adult and students connections, as well as how it was used throughout the project and beyond. Educators will learn authentic ways to integrate Edmodo into the classroom as well ways to connect their classrooms globally.
Our award-winning support team is not just about helping you with problems, they are there to help you make the most of your Edmodo experience. In this session, Support Manager and former History teacher, Kevyn Klein will introduce you to the various support resources available, as well as our global team of Edmodo experts who are assisting in the Edmodo Communities.
Learn how one school utilized the Digital Citizenship kit provided by Edmodo and Common Sense Media to lay the foundation for digital citizenship. Utilize the lesson plan to stimulate a conversation that will shape the online behaviors of the students at your school and develop a common vocabulary regarding digital citizenship. See how to turn this into a professional development opportunity for students AND teachers simultaneously!
Learn how Edmodo can be used successfully as a collaboration tool for Project Based Learning. In this session you will see how 130 students undertook a social entrepreneurship project. Using Edmodo to run the business, collaboration and communication were achieved to positively affect students learning.
Looking for ways to empower your students? This course will help teachers develop a school culture that thrives on encouraging student voice and building responsibility. Through the creation and active management of unique student groups such as New Student Forums, Inter-Campus Reading Buddies, and Peer Tutoring, students are put in the driver’s seat to practice responsible digital citizenship while developing leadership skills. With a few novel ideas you can turn your campus into a community for leadership development.
Edmodo transforms the traditional chalkboard and “turn-in” basket classroom into a digital atmosphere with a plethora of endless opportunities. In this session you will learn how to flatten your classroom through various activities you can do with students including an Edmodo scavenger hunt, homework debate, poetry summit, and compliments group. Learn how to execute each of these activities and more.
As teachers prepare students to join a world of constantly changing collaborative work environments, they must learn to find ways to rethink and re-imagine research and group work assignments. We have to find ways to not only encourage greater engagement and student-responsibility, but also foster the growth of collaborative skills and digital citizenship training in our students. This session will focus on using Edmodo to reimagine traditional ways we research and generate ideas. Using Edmodo as a source for accessing resources, using the small groups to promote excellent collaboration and then producing a product that can be shared with the entire group.
