Recently, the librarian at my school and I decided to create an Edmodo site to help students reflect and respond to the Nutmeg book nominees for this year. We are asking students to read five of the ten books. They are can read independently, with a parent and another adult, or the book can be a classroom read aloud. We have been using Google Docs to draft and edit permission slips and notes to parents. Using Google Docs has saved us so much time because we can work from home when it's convenient rather than meeting before or after school! I feel extra motivated to work on this project because I am enjoying collaborating with her. The other fourth grade teachers are going to join in on this project as well. I love that parents will be able to read our posts because they will be able to see how we are effectively incorporating technology to support literacy instruction. More importantly, the students are excited to read the books and to get started on Edmodo!!
Below are the appropriate standards for digital age teaching that are linked to my Edmodo collaboration with the librarian at my school.
