Twitter VS Edmodo for a PLC


Twitter Vs Edmodo

We have been focusing on technology for our professional development this year.  We have been blessed to have recently received a total of 225 IPads as a donation to our school.  This past week, at our professional development, Rabbi Tavi Koslowe gave an IPad 101 class to get the teachers started on how to use them in their classrooms.  As part of the presentation Rabbi Koslowe shared with the teachers a list of links that would be helpful to them in general in their classrooms and instruction. 

I have been trying to figure out how to bring all of our amazing professional development in technology into the realm of a full-fledged PLC.  I love how twitter enables me to get all kinds of interesting ideas from different educators that I follow.  I wanted to create a more insular group to give it a more personal feel.  I created an Edmodo group that will focus on technology being used in the middle school.  One of my favorite features of it is the library page.  I am hoping to post all of the cool resources and articles that people share as well as the blogs, wiki’s, websites etc that they create.  I am hoping this will begin to create the PLC feel I am looking for.
