Week 5

After a brief hiatus, TECHsplorations is back and there are great things for you to explore!

For LS teachers, next week, Edmodo is holding a free online conference called EdmodoCon on August 7th.  Your TECHsploration for this week is to register for the conference and explore the session offerings so that you can plan to attend one or more of them.  The conference features real teachers sharing tips and tricks for using Edmodo in the classroom.  I've attended in past years and found it to be inspirational--I hope you'll agree!  Head over to our Edmodo page for information on where to register.  If you aren't free at any point on August 7th, you can still register for the conference.  Much of the information shared in the sessions will be available to participants after the event.

For MS & US teachers, good news!  Your courses have been created in Canvas (huge thanks to Colin!).  You are welcome to start building your courses, adding content, making quizzes, etc.  Please note that if you teach more than one section of the same course, you will notice that you have only one course set up in Canvas.  Canvas allows you to create multiple sections within that one course page.  Colin has just sent an email with all the important information about this.

Additionally, we're exploring ePortfolios this week.  They are an excellent way of collecting and sharing a student's best work (or yours!).  Please visit our TECHsplorations course on Canvas for all the details.

Have fun and keep TECHsploring!
