Edmodo Introduced for GATE Communication

Hello GATE learners!  What an amazing couple of weeks.  Projects are gaining momentum and our laughter has filled many schools!  Our biggest set back has been in communication and networking across schools.  For this reason I am introducing Edmodo! Edmodo is a secure, social learning platform for teachers, students, schools and districts. Edmodo provides a safe and easy way for our program to connect and collaborate, share content and access homework, assessment and school notices.

1. The SVRSU12 Edmodo site is located here: http://svrsu12.edmodo.com/
2. Your usernames and initial group password are in the GATE Shared Folder in your Google Apps. 

All GATE learners need to log-in, change your password, look around and leave a message for Mr.S!  I want you all to check this site every day if possible.  I will put more and more information on the site as the holidays approach! 

Scratch at Whitefield GATE!

Our community is excited to showcase our first Scratch project!  Look for more on this project soon!
