Shy Students? Try Edmodo!

Students use Edmodo for online book discussions instead of the traditional small group discussion. In this case, the teacher set up five groups per class (one per book), and students asked questions and commented on others' comments/questions. Students were held accountable for the page number of where they found the information as well as relevance of the commentary.

This s a great example of using technology to provide variety and engagement in the classroom. Students didn't want to stop!
