Editor's Notes
- #4 If you cite it and then enter someone’s email, they have it. It’s also embedable. If you did this with bookmarks you wouldn’t have the pictures to remind you of the site. If you go to setup at the bottom of the home page you can add the icyte quick launch Even if the page doesn’t exist any more Icyte has kept it.
- #9 Give teachers a site. Students were asked the same question so they had a better chance of using the same word. Variances in words and repititions. If a piece does not have words repeating it won’t produce a good wordle
- #10 To put a wordle into powerpoint. Print screen, paste into product and crop. If you want two words connected into your wordle ie: Mrs. Walstein add a tilda. Analyze your writing. You use the word “therefore” 17 times.
- #19 Do something that ensures that all students have signed up – such as standing over them in a computer room until it is done! Post something on it EVERY DAY when you first start out, so that students get in the habit of checking it. Talk about it in class – “I have posted the topics on Edmodo”, “your homework will be posted on Edmodo by 4pm”, etc. Ensure that you do actually respond to students in a reasonably timely manner, particularly when you first start using it with a class, otherwise they will consider Edmodo as “not working” and a waste of time, and will stop using it. Prior to an assignment, set boundaries for your time e.g. “I will be checking Edmodo every few hours across the weekend” so they don’t expect instant responses, and “I will be signing off at 10pm on Sunday night – no further answers after that” so they don’t expect to continue talking to you until the wee hours while they catch up on the work they procrastinated about doing earlier.
