And how can it fit into your classrooms or library?

How I have used edmodo

  • Homework forum and posting homework sheets
  • Discussion groups for Science and Scratch
  • E-pals with a class in Wisconsin in the USA
  • Links to interesting videos and websites for homework
  • To discuss poetry with a class in Victoria, another state in Australia
  • For a French treasure hunt to extend interested students
  • As an extra for experts in small groups
  • To pose interesting questions

Why I love edmodo

  • Extending students beyond the curriculum
  • Extending the time available for learning
  • Posing thinking questions
  • Students helping each other
  • Students asking questions
  • No excuses for lost paperwork
  • A voice for the quiet ones
  • A chance to collaborate
