Project #16

For our final project The Royal Court: Laura Holifield and myself decided to do a class website this included a class blog. This is definitely something I will have in the classroom.  It contains a student section( The Court Jesters password is u5drwh) and a parent section(Parliament's password is mblt4t)  that both needs passwords to get into. They are required to remember these passwords and not to give them to any one else. This is to ensure safety. I think this is one of the reasons Laura chose edmodo. It contains a newsfeed similar to facebook so I am sure the students will be familiar with it.  In the newsfeed you can post a status, quiz, poll, assignment, or alert. It also has a place for grades and a calender. At the top you will find something called the library. In this section you will find a chunk of websites we found beneficial to our students. This is a good place for everyone to connect. Parents, students, and teachers all stay in the loop. Along with sending home important flyer after important flyer you also have this to back up what you have been preaching about all week long "bring extra pencils". In the library you will find a link to our made up class blog. In it contains just one post of some mandalas I created. We had already used blogger for our very own blogs so we just stayed with something we already knew.
