Edmodo


Edmodo is a social networking site where students can communicate with their teachers, as well as other students. Teachers can even be connected to other teachers inside their own school and even outside of their school. Edomodo enables message sending, there is a digital calendar where the teacher can post homework deadlines and things that will be happening in the classroom on a particular day and there it even has its own gradebook where the teacher can grade and comment on homework the students submitted. Files, links, polls, pictures and videos can also be posted to share amongst classmates and teachers.

I think this would be an effective and efficient learning tool to use in the classroom because it assists students during their learning processes. Yes, students can look up things like pictures and links on their own but with the aid of Edmodo, it makes it possible for them to be able collaborate and share their ideas and information with each other. It also makes it easier for the teacher to monitor their students' progress on assignments and give them feedback quickly and easily.
