Enhancing Learning Through Edmodo

Students can collaborate in real time, just like they do with Facebook, with their classmates and teacher. Students will have opportunities to reflect on pieces of writing, use the embed feature to publish student work for portfolios.  Edmodo can be linked to twitter and students can receive messages or important announcements.  The Poll feature can be used as a springboard to discuss questions on class/homework. You can also use the embed feature considerably more to bring other tech tools into your classroom environment.  It allows you to embed Google forms from your docs, which can be great for surveys or quizzes.  Anyone can embed their google calendar, wallwish, glogter, and other student made media project, like YouTube videos.  This is such a great tool.  Another educational social networking site that is exactly like this and maybe better is MyBigCampus. Very cool, check it out!
