Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to attend an Edmodo Learning Meetup in Chicago, IL. What a great night of information, sharing, and networking. Grace Ting and Liz Keleher facilitated the meet up along with three area educators. This event took place on the 80th floor of the Aon Building.
I sat in on the Administrator session and met technology integrators, principals, and superintendents looking to promote Edmodo throughout their district. Many districts were unaware of the Edmodo subdomain piece, my District currently has this in place. This feature automatically connects our staff to a district PLC, as well as a building PLC, and provides analytics for the district on Edmodo's use.
The feature about Edmodo that I am most excited about is SnapShot. They are launching this feature in the coming months and what a wonderful resource it will be. SnapShot is "a free tools that lets you mold Common Core to your standards." It will be geared towards grades 3-12 and have assessments for Math and ELA. SnapShot is going to make the assessments of standards that your students meet, or fall below. The data that is given back to the teacher will be extremely beneficial and allow for interventions to be given right from Edmodo.
Edmodo has some great changes coming our way. I'm excited to see the updates that will help make its use even more beneficial and simple.
