Our newest Instructional Technology Superstars are Mrs. Halvorson, Mr. Rose, Mrs. McCollum and Ms. Tosi. Understanding the benefits of collaboration, they designed writing prompts for conversations in the digital platform, Edmodo. And things didn't go so well in the beginning! As is typical with middle schoolers (and some adults, I might add) initial posts were often silly, disrespectful and lacking in content. After a few weeks of concerted efforts on the part of these teachers - as well as some tweaking of their writing prompts, they are seeing great improvement in student interaction. Thanks to a great team for teaching much-needed communication skills and for not giving up on these students.
