I came to a conclusion that the 5th grade students like to share their experiences through writing with Edmodo. They were interested in letting other people read their stories with the internet. The students seemed to get excited not having to write on paper.
The 5th graders like the writing activity the best. I would think that they liked the writing more because of the interaction. The students were able to judge the mag covers, but there was no interaction.
I enjoyed the interaction of Edmodo. I was excited to get on line and see that the student liked sharing my ideas with his story. I learn evertime I get on the computer. I have little knowledge and not computer lit., so it is still difficult for me to really understand. From what I experienced, I really was very interested in this project.
a collaboration project I might implement to others student would be through Edmodo. I would ask my students to gather historical facts about their town. Then I would let them post their finding and send them to another school. Next, I would ask that school to do the same idea in the same time period. I would then have the students compare and contrast.
Excellent idea for using micorblogging in social studies!!!!
