=TWT2013-Using Edmodo and iPads in the Classroom=

// This presentation is a discussion of my experience in a 1:1 school and using the Ipad in the classroom. The primary focus will be on the use of Edmodo in my class as well as other apps used in my history class and in our other classes. // // After taking this workshop, participants will leave with a better understanding of the uses of Edmodo for their classroom. I would also like them to take away the ups and downs that can go into a 1:1 Ipad class. //
