Edmodo - Oh yeah!

Assignment collection,
grading,
calendar,
24/7 collaboration,
to the extreme!
I love edmodo.

The flexibility and different uses are never ending. Support is fast, collaboration with other teachers sharing ideas alone is a huge benefit! And the ringer: It's free - all of it. You get all the awesome bells and whistles as everyone else.

How do I use it?

I post polls, questions, teach social networking etiquette, start discussions with my students. Students post projects, prezis, tagxedos, videos, papers.....either to me or to the whole class. I also post assignments, whether it's something they have to do on Edmodo or a book assignment in Math. The best part is I make all my assignment posts public - which means - parents can view via the direct link any of the posts that I decide to make public. That way, there's always somewhere to check for what is due and when.

Try it, you'll love it!
