Implementing WICOR Strategies with Edmodo in AVID Classroom
Gayle Anbe from the University of Hawaii leverages Edmodo to incorporate WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading) strategies in the AVID classroom. She focuses on college readiness programs, targeting C students and those who are first-generation college attendees. With a background as a 7th-grade teacher and a passion for running, she aims to enhance students' academic skills and prepare them for higher education through a WICOR foundation approach.

Poll Time Do you think there is a place for Social Networking sites in the classroom?

More Implications Computer sound issues
More Implications Computer sound issues My ratings would be invalid because I was not able to view the videos of the module to make any valid rating. The sound on my computer was not working so I could not hear any of the videos for it to be useful. I was able to follow a little of some sections, but it was difficult and frustrating.
More Implications Computer sound issues Use Closed caption or create PDF of tutorials
Include more basic instructions in module e.g. How to make screens bigger Tutorial videos were too small
