Using Edmodo in the Classroom

We now have students from Year 3-8 starting to use Edmodo. It operates in a similar way to Facebook but is a closed system. In other words, only students within the class can use it. 

Learning to use this type of social media productively and appropriately is really important for students and they can do this within the confines of the class. It works with any website or mobile device. It is a great platform for learning as students can share and collaborate on their work. Parents can assist at home by reinforcing good practice and reminding students that this is a tool for learning.

A Hundred Devices Registered!

We now have 100 mobile devices registered at Gulf Harbour School. It is great to see students using them for their learning. There are more devices in the senior part of the school but it is great to see them appearing at the junior end too.
