Google Docs integrate with Edmodo

This one comes compliments of our Technology Manager Mike Swanson!  Listen up Edmodo users.  This is actually a fantastic solution to a problem that one of the 5th grade teachers at Country Meadows was experiencing.  She was pushing out reading responses to her students on Edmodo and they were not finishing in the Edmodo response space in the allotted time.  There were sometimes not hitting submit.  There was not a clear way for her to get an complete response unless the student wrote uninterrupted all in one sitting.  Our solution at the time was to create a running google doc for all her students.  Although that will still work, this is a fantastic addition to that classroom management piece.  You will know when your student has completed their response because you can teach them to link and turn in the google doc on Edmodo.  The students compose a google doc with the assignment as the prompt and simply copy the link into Edmodo assignment window.  Below is a video of EXACTLY how a student can complete this.



With our students becoming more and more familiar with google docs this additional step will make your life a bit easier.  Thanks Mike.
