It is imperative that my students understand and learn how to successfully navigate through Edmodo to prepare them for future courses that are involved in having an online learning environment. Edmodo is an educational tool similar to Facebook, however, by definition, a specialist network of educators and students, so the risks of being contacted by strangers for non-academic purposes are greatly reduced, similar to online tools used in college for example, GoView (Georgia Southern University Online Tool). Edmodo was developed to create an online learning environment. It is also a great place to post resources, upload assignments, respond to polls, and anything else you want to share and engage online conversation related to course work with other classmates. This is very important this day in age because most college students are required to submit (upload) discussion questions, assignments, and quizzes through an online tool (GoView, Desire to Learn, Etc.)

Staff Development Needs Assessment

Background

Chatham County Public Schools has for the past couple of years been implementing new technologies to be used in the classroom. This new technology was introduced in our new three year technology plan. After taking data during 2nd semester of the 2014-2015 school year at Beach High School, Islands High School, and Jenkins High School, 13% of the ninth grade students knew how to navigate and upload assignments to Edmodo and 87% did not.

What I have noticed is that when students enter the ninth grade, they are used to submitting work manually and lack the knowledge of how to use online tools to submit (upload) assignments, quizzes, etc. Because I teach Business, my class is considered an online learning environment. It is imperative that my students understand and learn how to successfully navigate through Edmodo to prepare them for future courses that are involved in having an online learning environment.

Edmodo is an educational tool similar to Facebook, however, by definition, a specialist network of educators and students, so the risks of being contacted by strangers for non-academic purposes are greatly reduced, similar to online tools used in college for example, GoView (Georgia Southern University Online Tool). Edmodo was developed to create an online learning environment. It is also a great place to post resources, upload assignments, respond to polls, and anything else you want to share and engage online conversation related to course work with other classmates. This is very important this day in age because most college students are required to submit (upload) discussion questions, assignments, and quizzes through an online tool (GoView, Desire to Learn, Etc.)

The Need

Based on the data, Edmodo could be used to not only to engage students and increase student learning, this web 2.0 tool can be used to expose students to college classwork experiences on the middle school level. Edmodo will help increase the goal of Chatham County to increase technology in all classrooms.
