Edmodo

Just found out about Edmodo via Twitter. Basically, it's Twitter for schools. I just signed for my own account and plan on getting my students on it when we are in the media center on Thursday. It has some interesting possibilities, particularly since through it, I can send links, files, assignments, and so on to my students as well as an RSS feed. Last week I spent some time talking with my students about both Twitter and various RSS readers, and I'm encouraging them to use both of those for research as they begin to start their end of term projects. I'll play around with this and report on it more, most likely at the June training, but figured I'd give people a heads up on it now.
