Edmodo Experiment

To access my lesson go to edmodo.com and create an account. Provide the code and join my classroom.

This week I decided to create a lesson using Edmodo. To my surprise this website was extremely easy to use. If I had to compare it to something I would call it an educational Facebook. A teacher can create a page for each individual class. Edmodo assigns a letter code that is specific to each class. Students create their free student accounts and provide the code which places them on the teachers page. Once each student is on the class page the teacher can send out questions, discussion posts, videos, assignments, quizzes, and even test. If the students take a test or quiz the teacher can program Edmodo to add the grade straight to the grade book if they want. There is also an Edmodo app students can download to their smart devices and access materials for studying at home or working on assignments when absent. Parents can also see what students are doing in class with the use of Edmodo as well. The assignment I created was extremely simple to make and I never ran into any issues. The biggest hindrance to Edmodo is each student needs a device with internet capability. This cite will be used in my classroom because it can be accessed at any time which students tend to like.
