1. For the second emerging technology I used Edmodo. A program similar to Oncourse.
2. This emerging technology seems to be great for teachers. It's closely related to an Oncourse, but for all schools, not just IU. The program allows you to create assignments, upload books, post comments, and even interact with other teachers. This program seems to be on its way to really revolutionize and show the difference between our generation and the one we will be teaching. This program allows for students and parents to stay on top of their grades and see what assignments are coming up. It's almost like a planner for teachers by including a calendar. The site also allows for you to take polls among your students or even other teachers that use Edmodo. In one alert I noticed that teachers can send their students text alerts on homework and what not. I think this program will be very useful now and in the future.
3. Everything on Edmodo seems very self explanatory. The only real issue is because I'm not a teacher yet I have no connections, assignments, or grades posted so I can't really see how those tabs work. The page reminded me a lot of a Facebook for teachers.
4. Here's my page. http://www.edmodo.com/profile?uid=332836 It's obviously plain though because I have no information to share about my class!
5. Try it out and have fun!
