The wonderful world of Edmodo.... and Learning about Modifications

September 26, 2012

I'm new to Edmodo and am fascinated by the possibilities this program presents.  Ms. Futrell is our group's expert and she gave us a small glimpse at all Edmodo can do.  I think we're all looking forward to next week when she will give us a more in-depth presentation.

We also talked about differentiation, specifically on how to scaffold assignments and assessments to make them more palatable to SPED and ESL students.  We were clear that we didn't want to make it "easier" or give "handouts," but it is important to reach each student at (or as close as possible to) their level.  We talked about reducing multiple choice options, providing fill in the blanks for essays, and for T/F sections - stating how many are True and how many are False.
