I think I might just try this out with one of my groups this term. Thanks for the tip, very useful :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292401080382470371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861642244049270239.post-31058855758181308952010-04-07T01:01:36.942-07:002010-04-07T01:01:36.942-07:00Hi David,

Edmodo is very similar to twitter, but I find it better for educational purposes than Twitter.You can easily upload documents and audio or video files, for example to share.<br /><br />The way I use it is to create an edmodo group, invite my teacher trainees (joining a group is simple -- you just give your sts an enrolment key, none of the followed and following hassle of Twitter). Then during our daily face-to-face sessions, we all log into Edmodo, and keep it running in the background, and it's where I post any handouts/worksheets/links to consult/video/audio etc. Participants also upload their own work, and everything is instantly available to all the group. I find that my main use of it in face-to-face training is as a way of instantly sharing resources, and creating a networked paperless classroom.<br /><br />NickyNickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152299109840463943noreply@blogger.com
