The next plan.

So, with the new year starting up soon, I've been reviewing my plans for Silvercraft. I will continue to use Edmodo to keep track of points, but I want to see if there is a better way to incorporate all the elements of Edmodo. For instance, awarding points as the "mark" for each assignment, then only when all the assignments are marked will I add the points to the running total. I think that would help me stay organised. I really need to check out ClassDojo and see if their scheme is the same.

[Oh! I forgot to mention... I bought an iPad! I don't know yet if there is anything in particular that will affect Silvercraft, but I hope so.]

One idea I had at the end of the year last year is to make check-in slips for students. They can have two official check-ins before the due date (have a check-in cut off date?) when they can get feedback and points.  They can also redo meetings on their own time as long as it's not before the cut-off date/next due date. I like this idea, but I don't know if it is making things too complicated or not. I'll need to think on it a bit more.
