EDMODO

   

  Edmodo is a social learning network that aims to provide teachers with tools to help them communicate with their students and parents. With Edmodo, teachers can share content, texts, videos, homework, and assignments with their students online. For example; I used Edmodo with classmates and teachers. We shared our paraphrasings and essays on that platform, that way we learned from each other, we could give feedback to each other. Edmodo has a safe environment because the teacher can see everything that is posted on Edmodo. The entire school can participate in Edmodo with a code given by the teacher. Edmodo is an incredibly flexible and powerful educational tool that can be adapted and used in just about any class in a variety of ways. There are many advantages and benefits of using Edmodo. Let’s look at some of them; 

·       *   An online environment like Edmodo can foster group cohesiveness by enabling learners to interact outside the classroom in a safe educational environment. With this, collaboration is encouraged.

·        *  Instead of devising tasks and activities by themselves, teachers can count on students’ contributions and ask them to post ideas, videos, images, opinions and questions before the lesson starts. That way, students can contribute to the classroom.

·       *  Using an online environment provides the teacher with more opportunities to give personalized feedback on students’ production.

·         * Using an online environment can help you keep your classroom paper-free, or at least reduce the number of photocopies/handouts used in the lesson.

·        *  It is free.

·        *  All communication is saved or can be archived.
