Hilgers' Class --  Edmodo (Joining groups)
Students finished creating a paragraph about what they experienced during the Nature Works group project.  Some of the questions they were asked to ponder included:

1. What would you do differently?
2. How did each person (including yourself) in your group contribute?
3. What worked well or not so well during this project?
4. What should Ms. Reid do differently?

Students reviewed how to access Edmodo while using Firefox (Note:  Edmodo works best in Firefox because WCPSS uses an older version of Internet Explorer). Students joined school group, grade level group and homeroom group.
