This networking site will allow: • you to submit assignments digitally instead of on paper. • me to grade your assignments digitally and send you feedback instantly • your parents to access your grades or progress and communicate with me regularly • you and your classmates to collaborate digitally

  10. Once you have created your profile and explored Edmodo.com… • Research for child development stories in the recent news (2010-present) about children in middle childhood (age 6-10). Find 1 story that pertains to what we have talked about in class regarding this stage of development. • You should: summarize the 3 news stories, determine what type of development is represented, and discuss why it is important for teachers or parents to know. Please type your descriptions in a Word document (1 page minimum) and include the url of your article. • Submit your assignment through the assignment link titled “Child Development in the News” in Edmodo.
