Twitter Chats are a great way for you and other educators to collaborate, generate new ideas, and discuss various Edmodo-topics. During Twitter Chats, moderators lead a conversation on Twitter about a specific topic using a pre-determined #hashtag on every tweet, and participants can join in the conversation by responding with that #hashtag.
The amazing Edmodo Support Ambassadors organize a Twitter Chat every first and third Sunday of the month at 8pm Eastern using the hashtag #edmodochat.

A4 Using tools like allows reluctant voices to be 'heard'. Again, small groups can provide differentiated assignments
Have been teaching for 40 yrs. Didn’t retire because of edtech. Love what it allows my learners to accomplish.

A5 Don't struggle as much because differentiation is routine at our school w/all staff
I often tell Ss " I am a lifelong learner ready to learn with you, for you , from you. .Mind u, I will practice more than u"
A5: sometimes it's a challenge to differentiate with with students who can't read, just more work to find the right tool
A5: Probably higher level as its fine line to make things harder but they also need to understand. Sometimes feel they r bored

A 5 It largely depends on the dynamics of the group. P2P collaboration and assessment mark a difference .
A5: Allowing Ss to explore things like , create paper slide videos, and blog helps diff.
A6 Once I used ,& a S struggling w/ division was showing how to solve a prob and caught her own mistake!
Challenge them to then share their expertise. Ask questions and be mindful as we all learn different.
. A6 I had students create stop animations for an original myth. A student said was the first time he completed a project!
A6 when they achieved something they thought they would NEVER get!
