Hi All!
 
I've been working with a microblogging platform called Edmodo that I learned about from Kathy Schrock.  I've been using it to give assignments and schedules for my Library Experience students.  It works pretty well unless you have HUGE classes, and then it might be a bit tedious.  It also doesn't compile student grades yet, which is a bit annoying.  However, it's kind of like Blackboard or Moodle but in a simplified format and it's free (for now).  
 
I'm now using it to monitor 15 Volleyball Players that are spending period 6 in the library.  I'm just going to give them questions to make sure that they are coming to the library.  
 
I've attached a help document I created and any and all of you are free to modify and use it.  You need to set up a teacher account first, but it's pretty easy.  
 
Doc attached  (PDF) - If you want to use the 11MB RTF it's available at www.ilovelibraries.com > My Teacher's Project> Slim's Stuff > at bottom :-)
