Edmodo is a social learning platform that offers classroom productivity while ensuring collaboration both within and outside the classroom. Third party applications can also be used within Edmodo.
With the ability to launch the program on devices ranging from desktop computers to handheld devices like the smartphone, Edmodo offers both teachers and students the flexibility to perform classroom tasks such as submission and grading of assignments while on the move. Classrooms become paperless as teachers post files that are relevant to a particular lesson while students respond appropriately with text files and images for teacher review and grading. There is an opportunity for students to receive text messages on their cellphones about notices that teachers put up on Edmodo.
Apart from the classroom serving as a group for collaboration, teachers can also create connections among themselves to share ideas about topics that they teach. Deborah Aughey of Campbell School gives parents access to her Edmodo classroom to help keep track of students’ progress. This way, there is an open opportunity for parents who are experts in a particular field of study to offer their contribution to classroom projects.
It interesting to use other applications often used separately, all within Edmodo. With applications such as Socrative in the apps store, teachers are able to get instant response to quizzes in the classroom. A recent post about Using Google Hangout and Edmodo to engage students tells how instructional methods are being transformed in line with the changes that the Web 2.0 has brought everyday life.
