"Generation IM"

Kids use technology as a main form of socializing, so it becomes very beneficial for their learning when we as teachers take advantage of that opportunity to reach them in such a way.

I really like Imbee and how Mrs. Tenkely uses it in her classroom. It involves students into good discussion and interaction in a way that makes them feel comfortable. It is fun for them and very safe as well. And it also allows the teacher to receive insight into her students' thoughts. I believe it would serve a good purpose as after school/ homework type of work.
Moodle is something that I would definitely use. Described as a "living syllabus" it is a fool proof organization system that keeps the teacher, parents, and students all on the same page.
