I am going to use a version of your ideas with one of my third grade classes first to create a book for the "The Important Thing about their winter holiday" so they can learn some PowerPoint skills, and then with president research!

I can imagine badges for fully completing projects, being a great assistant to another student in class, contributing to a discussion, successfully uploading 5 then 10 projects to Edmodo in the school year, and others as I use it through the year.<br /><br />Even though I have Google Apps for Education, we still do many projects in Scratch, Open Office, Kid Pix, etc. It will allow me to easily collect the work from many different hard drives and the server. It made it so easy to open work at home. I can assign a grade through Edmodo, the students can leave me comments such as reminders that they missed a few classes due to illness, and I can leave them comments on their work.<br /><br />I tested it with the 8th graders in April and rolled it out to 7th, then 6th, then 4th through May. Each class liked it and had a really easy time uploading their work.<br /><br />Let me know if you'd like to chat about it.Ann Orohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137060994986827867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315331548415132004.post-38491611883714166622011-08-14T21:18:48.386-04:002011-08-14T21:18:48.386-04:00Some questions for you.

One of the nicest thing about ntcamp is the size of the crowd really makes it possible to easily have a conversation in a way that is harder in larger conferences. Every session has something to offer. I always find it hard to choose.
