Dear Parents, For the remainder of the year, we will be using Edmodo in 3 Zhi as a pilot project. The goal of the project two fold: (1) to see if it would further encourage students to use Chinese to express their views on an online platform and (2) to allow students to share ideas and respect others work through constructive peer response. If the feedback is positive from parents/students, we plan to introduce this to other classrooms. For those who may not be aware, Edmodo is a free and secure learning network for teachers, students, and schools. It provides a safe way for teachers and students to connect, share content, participate in discussions and receive class information. Edmodo can also be downloaded on your android or IOS device for easier access. Unlike other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, Edmodo is a tool strictly for educational purposes and we will be enforcing the following guidelines:

1. Students will be required to use appropriate grammar instead of texting language 2. Edmodo does not allow private student-to-student messaging - the site will be used

to discuss school-related content only, and the teacher will monitor all Edmodo activity

3. No put-downs or sarcasm toward anothers ideas.

Students who violate the guidelines above may face disciplinary action and/or face losing the privilege of using Edmodo. As the main purpose is to increase language usage, teachers will purposely be avoiding making error correction. However, this does not mean that students should neglect the importance of grammar. We advise students to reflect carefully before posting their work. As we would like for the students to take full ownership, we request that parents purposely refrain from posting questions on their behalf. I look forward to incorporating the use of technology into our Chinese curriculum. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, T.Chui, Ms Williams, Ms Lee This is your childs login information
