Google Chrome is a very intuitive browser. I like the home screen; it is very clean and neat. It also seems to run a bit faster than my Internet Explorer, so that is nice! I explored Edmodo, Read and Write, and Google Dictionary. Read and Write and Google Dictionary seem to have great potential for me to use with my students to help differentiate my instruction. Edmodo is interesting but to be honest I don't think that I will use it that much; I don't have the time to sift through what's there. But, it could be good if I want to brainstorm and connect with other colleagues to get some ideas. Some advice I would give other is give it a chance--use the browser for a few days and play around with it. It might be hard to change, since many of us are used to explorer, but this browser has amazing potential and actually is very easy to use once you get the hang of it!

I love Chrome. I've been using it since it's launch. I didn't learn about the apps and extensions until this year. It's amazing what you can add to it. Keep exploring.
ReplyDeleteAs for Edmodo. It's a learning platform. Similar to Blackboard (but easier to use) at the college level. It just provides students with a one stop shop for all of their class updates. It makes more sense to use it if an entire school or team of teachers goes to it. That way kids could have one place to access multiple classes.
