You Don't Want to Miss This! Edcamp Happy Camper- Washington Township School District hosts its first ever Edcamp. Save the Date: May 13th Edcamp is a powerful professional development movement. Forget everything you ever knew about teacher professional development. Instead of a presenter lecturing you and giving you activities, you become an active participant who drives the conversation. You suggest and pick out sessions, you learn from your colleagues who are interested in the same topics as you, and you vote with your feet by not staying in sessions that don't fit you needs. People will come from all over- not just WT to participate. Learn more by watching the video on the right.
Using Yammer Private Groups as a way to backchannel and share with your class! Find Yammer inside your Office 365 account. All staff and students are logged in as a part of their account.
Did you know? "US teens send an average of 30 texts per day". From : http://heidicohen.com/2015-us-teen-social-media-use/ Using Yammer allows you to communicate in a way that which teens and preteens are accustomed.
Create a Private Group so that you can have conversations, send announcements, and take quick polls in a controlled environment. It is also a powerful way to teach students proper online communication and best practices for commenting.
