Week 2: Social Networking

Social Networking relates to me in several areas of my job. As our schools' Media Specialist, I am charged with keeping up with technology and the use of technology in the classroom. Edmodo is used county-wide and I have successfully used it with my fourth and fifth graders. This technology is easy to set up and really promotes higher-order thinking and makes life so much easier for teachers and students. Teachers can use many, many different Web 2.0 applications, post assignments, and differentiate content by making sub-groups. This program is simply amazing! I also use Twitter to keep up on new trends, am a member of several NING groups, and use Delicious and Pinterest as well. I am fully engaged in social networking and love it! I am also a member of Second Life...which could really be a time drain! Edmodo Tutorials:
