Ed- What? .... Edmodo! What is that? Well.............
Edmodo is free micro-blogging programme created especially for students and teachers to privately communicate with each other. It is a place where teachers and students are able to share notes, files, links, news and other school related things. For teachers, they are able to notify students of events, news and assignments that due soon.
Would I use Edmodo in the classroom?
YES! It is an excellent idea for communicating ideas between students and teachers. It support every learning area and the tools available are specifically designed for use within the classroom. Some of these useful tools are putting up grades privately for students to view, being able to create your own categories for different learning areas, notification of updates and being able to upload a variety of different things. As for security, it is a private platform and a security pin code is needed to gain access to discussion rooms! No need to worry about people from other places of the world intruding! Last but not least, teachers can easily monitor students and comments can be deleted with just a click!
