IT Babble is the idea of two guys had over some Oranjeboom (the unofficial official beer of educators world wide). Omar and I are geeks and decided to share our geeky tendencies to you the reader and have some fun while we’re out it. Click around and enjoy IT!
If you need to get a hold of us drop us an email at: itbabblerocks@gmail.com
Wanted to send you guys an email. Where can I send it to?
Hey Jay,
You can reach me at itbabblerocks@gmail.com. If it is for Tony, Cara, Preston or Omar -I’ll be sure to pass it on to them.
Love your show!
Thanks James! Keep listening and spread the word.
Hi Patrick – I was searching Edmodo to find teachers in different parts of the world that may be willing to collaborate with my students in Pennsylvania USA. I teach Spanish and my students made a VoiceThread about our school. community, sports, pets, etc. We sent the link to several secondary schools in the world that have Spanish as a second language classes. So far a school in Taiwan and a school in Seoul Korea have collaborated with us. I know you teach IT, at least that is what the profile in Edmodo stated, so this project is not something that would interest you. BUT…I’m hoping that you will be able to give me a contact name and e-mail address of any teachers you may know in Dubai that teach Spanish as a second language. It would be exciting for my students (and for me too, I cannot lie), to have a class from Dubai join with us.
Do you know of anyone that may be interested in our global project?
Dear Cynthia,
Yes, I loved Edmodo and VoiceThread is pretty darn cool. I’ve had a quick talk with the Spanish teacher at my school (her name is Cynthia too!) and she seems a bit interested. She is unfamiliar with VoiceThread but I can get her caught up on that and hopefully this will happen. It is always exciting to collaborate
I’ve checked out the VoiceThread on your blog and it looks pretty awesome. I teach in a middle school so I don’t know if our students will be nearly as advanced as yours but it can still work I think. I’ll keep you posted and next time I’ll reach out to you through email.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Hey Guys,
Been following your blog since I stumbled upon your Edmodo reviews and other LMS challengers to Edmodo. Like you, I have begun keeping a blog to compile all the resources I come across or research for my fellow teachers. This gives them a place to go to find that great (I hope!) idea they need to facilitate learning in their classrooms. Unlike you, my posts aren’t always as great–and I mean that sincerely! I would love to just send them to your site when you post something awesome (like the recent note-taking post) if you don’t mind.
Josh
Josh,
More traffic? Hey that sounds good to me thanks man! We’d also like to do the same for you. I really dig the layout and the theme you have for your blog as well. I can’t wait to see what you write about and the note slate looks pretty awesome. Thanks again for the plug.
Patrick
Is education misspelled intentionally in your site’s tagline?
Nope! I’ll get Omar right on that. He has the Photoshop file. I can’t believe we missed that for an entire year. Doh!
Patrick,
I am trying to download a copy of your Edmodo Guide from the yudu link (http://www.yudu.com/item/details/122536/Edmodo—Facebook-for-Education ) . I am not able to view or download. Any help? Thanks, Terra
Terra,
Thanks for stopping by. This is truly bizarre. I cannot view it either! I was just sharing this guide with someone on Monday. I’ve contacted Yudu and hopefully will have this resolved soon. Stand by and when it is up and running, I’ll leave a reply. I am also in the process of making a newer, more comprehensive guide for the updated features of Edmodo as well. That should be up on IT Babble in around two weeks.
Terra,
I never heard from Yudu, but I just tried the guide and it was working form Yudu. Follow this link: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1lmc3/EdmodoFacebookforEdu/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http://www.yudu.com/item/details/122536/Edmodo—Facebook-for-Education
I hope it works, and let me know if there is anything I should add.
Thanks! Got it!
Terra,
I’ve created a new guide to better explain the newer features in Edmodo. To take a look at the 20+ page guide (don’t worry lots and lots of pictures and less boring text) click on this link. http://bit.ly/fvUtaX Enjoy!
