K-12 Online Conference

Welcome
The online conference I chose was Little Kids, Big Possibilities. This presentation is about how you can use 2.0 and social networking with younger students. This online conference provided me with some sites that will help enhance student’s learning and engagement in classroom assignments. The first site she talked about was Wallwisher.com. It provides students a way to become activity involved with their daily assignments. The second site she discusses was Wordle.net. This site’s aim is to help students with comparison and contrast, prediction, inference, main ideas and generalizations. Wordle can help students generate rich discussions with other students. The final site was Edmodo.com. It is a social networking site that can be used at home or school providing ways for students and teachers to communicate. Edmodo will allow you to share ideas, turn in assignments, reflections and share file. Edmodo provides students a great way to learn online and collaborate with others. These sites she talked about in her online conference could be used in our classrooms providing teachers a way to engage students in their own everyday learning. They also provide teachers a way to expand their lesson and develop a richer environment.
