ePortfolio Assignment-Week 3




I have chosen Edmodo as the site to launch my blended delivery class.  To pilot this blended course this year I am going to begin with my Honors class, because 99% has Internet access at home.



When I mentioned that our next unit would require submitting some assignments, quizzes and commenting on videos posted to watch on Edmodo, many replied with we used Edmodo last year!  Which was a relief to me because I am just learning the ins and outs as well and knew that they could help me figure some quirks out if I ran into any.

ePortfolio Assignment-Week 1

iTunesU- I currently use this app to further educate myself by listening to podcasts on content I teach.  There are also courses avalible that are paralell to the Physical Science grade 9 content that also have many demos that go along with the podcasts.  I use some of these as Openers to get my students on task and thinking for the class period. 

Science House Video- This app has a few demo videos with explanations.  Also great for Activiating students thinking or applying a concept taught by having them watch the video and then write an exaplanation for the science phenomom.

Edmodo-This app is going to serve as the way I am going to devliver my Blended Unit to the students.  I like Edmodo becasue it resembles Facebook in layout and feel students will be familiar with the site. Not using an Apple device?  Click here
