More on Edmodo

Edmodo can be used to enhance any ELA program. The possibilities are really endless and from what I see, Edmodo is changing the way many classrooms function. Teachers now can post assignments for students, parents and administrators to see. Teachers can grade written work and share projects with their classes. Students and teachers can chat and share websites and it is easy to keep in touch with students who are out sick.

ELA teachers can set up pen pals for students to chat with. Teachers can move beyond the classroom and set up virtual book clubs with other classroom around the country or around the world. Students can chat with authors and teachers in other geographic areas.

Another way teaching and learning can be enhanced through the use of Edmodo is when teachers model positive use of social media in a controllable online environment. I can see so many uses for Edmodo in ELA and am encouraged to see that districts are supporting it as well.
