I was bummed that I was not able to attend ISTE this year. Our PD budget has been slashed. I did find this link though to ISTE Unplugged which offers the opportunity to participate in ISTE presentations through Elluminate video conferencing. I used Elluminate for PLP sessions, and love it. This morning I was able to watch a presentation by a Twitter acquaintance, Paula Naugle, on Edmodo. I found out a few new things about Edmodo I didn't know:
* In Glogster, you can go to a link that says "Edmodo this Glog" and it will paste it directly into your Edmodo! Students don't have to mess with embed codes - They can send their glogs directly to Edmodo. :)
* There are Communities in Edmodo you can join where you can meet other educators and discuss uses of the tools. I haven't explored many, but there are subject areas as well as Glogster, Discovery Education, ISTE, etc.
There are lots of great sessions at ISTE Unplugged you can be a part of - Just another way to get free PD! :)
Thanks -- I did know about the Edmodo communities, but not about the ability to easily embed Glogs - very cool.
ReplyDeleteI think the access to PD (like ASTE unplugged) is amazing and will revolutionize professional development!
