@syded06 We too are using Edmodo, but obviously can't upload from iPad yet. Normally would use dropbox or gDocs but no student email

Thanks for sharing. Doing a rollout with classroom sets in Boston. No student email and shared iPads add layers of challenges

Makes sense that a job evaluation would be connected to whether you keep that job. Just need to know if eval system works first. #ctedreform

Sick of editorials w/ "failing schools" why not speak truth & say "failing communities" Our shells of cities r sick not schls #ctedreform
