Edmodo is an educational website that takes the ideas of a social network and refines them
and makes it appropriate for a classroom. Using Edmodo, students and teachers can reach
out to one another and connect by sharing ideas, problems, and helpful tips. A teacher can
assign and grade work on Edmodo; students can get help from the entire class on Edmodo.
It is a safe environment. There is no bullying or inappropriate content, because the teacher
can see everything that is posted on Edmodo. Also parents can join the class to bring a level
of transparency that is difficult to achieve without technology. All in all Edmodo is a grat
companion to just about any class.
You do not need a computer lab to use, you don’t have to have laptops in the room, it is something that will complement your teaching and allow you to improve methods of communication with your students outside of class. More communication usually means less confusion, better work, and more time to engage and focus on those higher level essential questions.
Why do I use Edmodo? What I really love about Edmodo is their dedication. I also love the fact that Edmodo is constantly updating to make the site more powerful, easier to use and just better overall. Edmodo can be applied to your classroom, your school, or even your district.
