Blog Assignment: Evaluating and Identifying Online Resources


Ok, so here I am in Voki.com.  I will click on my student tab to begin to add my students names and generate passwords.  I will first upload a student class list so I do not have to type each and everyone.       

Edit Students: To edit a student’s name, simply type the name into the First, Middle, or Last Name fields. You can also remove a student from the list by clicking the delete (x) button. Note: Modifying a student’s name will also change their Login, so make sure you provide students with their updated login information.
To modify a student’s password, imply type in the new password and click Save Changes. Print for Class: This feature lets you print login instructions for your students.
Here, you have two options:
a.      Print 1 sheet for the entire class: This will print a list of logins and passwords for all students. Note: logins and passwords will be visible to everyone viewing the list.
b.         Print individual instructions: This is a more secure option that lets you print individual instructions for each student. After printing these instructions, you can cut out the individual instructions and hand them out. I will print out the individual instructions to cut and distribute. 
Add & Edit Classes: Click the “Add a Class” button. A new class will appear at the bottom of the list. Now, name your class and click “Save Changes”. Note: Each new class will automatically include 1 lesson with a default lesson description.
        Add Lessons: After adding a class, click the notebook icon (      ) next to the class name. Then, name your lesson and write a description. Your lesson description can be instructions for your students, a description for those viewing the public lesson page, or a combination of both!
        Hiding a lesson: If a lesson is hidden, the lesson Web page will not display the lesson’s Vokis you have approved. To view your hidden lessons, check the Show Hidden box. To unhide a lesson, uncheck the box under “Hidden” and click “Save Changes”.
        Configure a Lesson: Each lesson comes with a Web page where others can view the Vokis your class has created for that lesson. To configure your lesson, click the configure icon ( lesson name. Here, you can do the following: ) next to the Select a layout style for your lesson page Enable the Get Embed button – this will allow anyone viewing the page to share a specific Voki, via the embed code, or a Voki link. You can also set the page to Private and choose a password. This password will be
required to view the lesson page. When you are done configuring the lesson, click Save & Close.
           Lesson Web Page: To view your lesson’s Web page, click the View link for that lesson (voki.com)

And now I am ready to go.

This is Blog  – Edmodo

Good evening, my fellow bloggers, today, I set up my Edmodo teacher account.  Next, I will set up my student accounts to post my Voki assignment to my student’s accounts. I really have a new love for Edmodo.  I love to add assignments for center activities and extra homework activities for my students.  This year they have added a new feature to Edmodo.  The new feature is a quiz tab in the assignment taskbar.  This will allow educators to add a previously generated quiz.  The quiz assignment is used for educators to add the questions and answers to a peculiar subject, the students will take the quiz and the quiz will be corrected and results will be available to the teacher. 

I will set each student up with a username and password for Edmodo.  This will take some time.  I will then go and add the link to Voki.com. This link will be added as an assignment.  The next in my procedure will be to check my class list to my Edmodo list to ensure that all student names are spelled correctly to ensure that there are no errors.  Today, all my students had time to go on Edmodo to practice their multiplication facts.  My students really enjoyed practicing their multiplication skills online.  Next, I will set my student accounts on Voki.com.  I am so excited about getting into my new Voki.com classroom, I just know both myself and my students will be learning so much from the Voki.com website.
