Edmodo usage

If you look at my earlier post about Edmodo, you will see that year 8 were completely head over heels in love with it at one time. They still love it... most of the time!

I questionned them recently on their opinions of Edmodo and this is the result of that.

• The vast majority of pupils (all bar one) said that they liked Edmodo 
• The vast majority of pupils (all bar two) said that they prefered using Edmodo to do their homework 
• The majority (about 70%) said that they prefered using Edmodo to 'normal' lessons
• All pupils said that they were happier to use both Edmodo AND their exercise books rather than just Edmodo - the reson for this being that they found it easier to revise from their exercise books than on a computer screen

We had a little break from Edmodo as part of the experiment and all pupils still feel much the same. So, now we are going to do just as they suggested - use exercise books to record vocab and simple exercises, and use Edmodo for uploading homeworks and bigger class work exercises.
