I am presently working with a colleague in 'The Northern Isles'. It seems that Scotland is certainly some way in advance of many of the schools in England in actually wrestling with the challenge of e-Portfolios. <br /><br />eFolio provides inbuilt polls and surveys within the 'Walled Garden'.<br /><br />Am more than happy to talk further but please feel free to browse my blog at:<br />www.efoliointheuk.blogspot.com<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Ray TRay Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654892229937491921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457974606045029428.post-41962707470581083662010-01-10T02:41:17.742-08:002010-01-10T02:41:17.742-08:00Thanks for the comment, Mark.

One of the things that I am keen to do is make sure that I am not relying on only the features that edmodo offers, so if I wanted to poll my class, I would probably just link to poll daddy or survey monkey and post that in the s3 group, for instance. I like the 'walled garden' aspect of this, in that the link would only be available to members of that group. Regarding backing up data, I honestly don't know, believe it or not, I'm not that technical :) Probably best to ask Jeff O'Hara, who is @zemote on twitter, he has previously been very helpful when I have asked questionsKenny O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773930385726946977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457974606045029428.post-36316321207859035762010-01-10T02:34:51.945-08:002010-01-10T02:34:51.945-08:00I am also a fan of Edmodo for the same reasons whi...I am also a fan of Edmodo for the same reasons which you highlight. I tend to use it for submitting and marking homework. Like you I have avoided setting a grade or score, but used formative comments indicating where possible next steps in learning.<br /><br />I have been thinking about ways I could use Edmodo with my senior pupils so that they can traffic light areas of the course in order to highlight gaps in their learning in advance of their prelims. Edmodo's poll feature only allows a single question at a time and I think this will restrict what I want to do. I am now considering a dedicated polling resource (e.g. PollDaddy), alongside PrimaryPad for whole class comments and then running the results through Wordle to provide a visual overview.<br /><br />One point to consider - do you know if there is a means of exporting data from Edmodo? I can't see a way to do this, and it would be sensible to have any online evidence backed up elsewhere.Mark Cunninghamhttp://www.cunniman.netnoreply@blogger.com
