EdmodoCon 2015

This is the third year in a row that I've spent a day in August glued to my iPad all day, watching a live webinar called Edmodocon. This time I heard about a teacher who has her class skype with classrooms in five different countries around the world, and students were paired with those classes to work on digital projects. I heard more about flipped classrooms and making math videos (I do this and love it!) I heard about students being paired with published authors to work on creative writing projects, and student writing improving as a result. I plan on trying some of those ideas, and adding giving more badges on Edmodo and using NoRedInk for grammar in a fun way! I'm really looking forward to trying some of these new ideas in my 1:1 iPad classroom! 
Here's my movie summary of Edmodocon 2015!
