NACOL Professional Development Webinars
May 15, 2008
6:00-7:00 PM (Eastern)
“Incorporating Social Networks in Virtual Schools
to Promote Student to Student Interaction”
One of the challenges of online learning is creating a way for students to get to know one another and to collaborate. Over the last 10 years at Odyssey Charter Schools, parents and students alike have asked how to help students meet one another for the purpose of working together. At Odyssey Charter High School, we are piloting a program that is showing promise as a wonderful solution.
Join Odyssey High School teachers Glen Moses and Cory Plough as they discuss the creation and implementation of a social network. How to sell (and perhaps how not to sell) this concept to students, parents, teachers, and administration will be a large part of the discussion. According to Moses, “We will take a look at many of the great things going on in our network and discuss some of the bumps and bruises we've taken along the way.”
Join us for an informative discussion about social networking and how it can be used in your own school setting.
Presenters:
Glenn Moses and Cory Plough, Odyssey Charter School Teachers
