Was able to try and help a teacher at least talk out a presentation idea! She wanted a way for students to communicate with each other as one of the knights of the round table...sort of like one would communicate on Facebook. It would be easy to make a fake Facebook account and go for it, but Facebook is blocked for obvious reasons.
I initially thought she just wanted a cool new presentation tool---I offered S'more.com, PowToon, Pickochart...not exactly what she was looking for...so we went searching for something that would work.
We offered Edmodo...but none of us love Edmodo and didn't think the students would either...The teacher herself found FAKEbook. I looked it over and I wasn't crazy about it for the purposes that she needed. It would be great to set up a single Facebook page that the user interacted with him/herself as a presentation tool, but it was not very "interactive friendly" unless everyone had everyone's username and passwords.
Overall, Edmodo is probably the best choice for the activity even though it is not as flashy as we want it to be...I will be curious to see her on Tuesday to see what she went with!
