Active Participation: In anticipation for various needs/wants, participants DO NOT need to attend all three stations if they would prefer to work on getting at least one of the three started to use in their classroom. They may, however, get a look at all three stations if they would prefer to learn more about each one, and then take time to set up an account!Three stations where teachers can begin to set up an account to use the tool(s) in the classroom: 1. Wikispaces - www.wikispaces.com 2. Edmodo - www.edmodo.com 3. KidBlog - www.kidblog.com Begin to think about how you are going to introduce this to your students. What steps will they take to make their first post, similar to the introduction post we made? If you make a step-by-step handout or video, please attach it below for other teachers to use.
Reflection:** (watch for recap of questions/confusions on the wiki!)
