At the Keep Learning Alive! Conference January 30th, the presenters in one session briefly mentioned Edmodo, and how wonderful it is for their classrooms. So, this week I decided to see what Edmodo is really about and how I can implement that into my future classroom.
"Edmodo is a global education network that helps connect all learners with the people and resources needed to reach their full potential" (https://www.edmodo.com/about). On Edmodo you are able to have an online class. The teacher can sign up for this website for free, and it is very beneficial to the classroom. The teacher can then have each one of their students create an account on Edmodo, and add them to their online class. The teacher can send out reminders of assignments, communicate to students and assign class work online. The assessment of the students can be done completely online and completely paperless. Also, the textbooks for the class are available online. The students can even access other classrooms around the world, and see that books and assignments that they are doing. Edmodo also gives the teacher a grade report for the assessments they have completed. Edmodo can be used for virtually any grade level, because the website is very user friendly. You can also use Edmodo for any subject that you choose. the presenters at this conference used it for math, reading and social studies. However, I could also see a science lesson being able to use this website. Edmodo will deepen students learning by allowing them to work at their own pace, and see how others learn around them.
