What is Edmodo?
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.
What is this guide for?
This guide is to be used as a resource. It is not a guide on how you should use Edmodo, but simply a how-to. Edmodo is an incredibly flexible and powerful educational tool that can be adapted and used in just about any class in a variety of ways. How I use Edmodo and how you would use Edmodo could be totally different depending on what you are teaching, the temperament of your students and the environment you work in. So read on and see how it could work for you.
Why Edmodo?
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? The points mentioned above are pretty good, but 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. Did I mention it is all free?
