Event Description

Join us at the Scarfe Foyer during lunchtime on March 9th to see this month’s Technology in Transit showcase, featuring Edmodo!

Edmodo is a web-based platform that provides a safe and easy way for your students to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices. It is like Facebook, but in a safe and  controlled environment appropriate for school. Instructors can place digital resources for students to access or download, create polls for students to vote online, write short summaries of lessons for students who were absent from class, and post homework information.

At Educational Technology Support, we are passionate about raising technology awareness and showing how technology can be used to enrich teaching. On the second Wednesday of every month, Educational Technology Support (ETS) hosts Technology in Transit to provide an environment for students in the Faculty of Education to showcase the technologies that they have been using in their classrooms. This one-hour session offers passers-by the chance to observe and engage with educational technology as they walk through Scarfe Foyer during their lunch break.

Presenter

Our featured student this month is Dave Gwilliam from the Faculty of Education.
