Edmodo Assessment - make quizzes and instant feedback

My latest tutorial on how to use the quiz function on Edmodo so that you can make up quizzes for your students.

I like this A LOT better than grading through Google Drive and Flubaroo. There is also a great way to add files and links to the quizzes, so you can make the quiz orally administered through sites such as Vocaroo

Don't forget to check out my previous Yahoo Voices article on using Edmodo for Assessment

Voice Thread Memoir work

My Media arts students did a Voice Thread project in collaboration with the 8th grade ELA teachers. I thought it would be fun to do this with the iPads and the free Voice Thread app BUT never again!

The app only allows users to export via email. SO I had students login individually onto my laptop and then I would access their VoiceThread and embed it into my blog. I am hoping that after I post these they will be viewable, but for some reason only one is showing. This is frustrating as I know my kids worked very hard on them.

@toondoo on Unlimited vs. Limited Government

By collaborating with the seventh grade social studies teachers, my students created works of digital storytelling where they could teach me the basics of limited/unlimited government, why the Magna Carta came about or about Queen Elizabeth

They were able to view my ToonDoo Tutorials to complete it. Check them out so you can do this in your class

This is one about the Magna Carta as told by Obama

 

Mr. Spock also teachers about the differences between Limited and Unlimited Govt
