Edmodo is a versatile platform that has found extensive use in educational settings. Teachers have embraced Edmodo as a valuable tool for engaging students and implementing lessons aligned with CCSS standards. By providing an easy-to-use interface, Edmodo enables seamless communication and collaboration among teachers, students, administrators, and parents. It serves as a learning management system, allowing teachers to integrate it into their classrooms and providing students with access to a wealth of online storage space for assignments and resources.

One of the key benefits of Edmodo is its accessibility across web-enabled devices, enabling communication and collaboration beyond traditional school hours. This feature has been particularly helpful for online and blended learning initiatives, as well as for facilitating communication between teachers and their students. Additionally, Edmodo has been utilized by professional learning communities to foster asynchronous communication among teachers, allowing them to share best practices and lesson plans.

Edmodo's usefulness extends beyond the classroom as it connects various stakeholders in education. Through Edmodo, students, parents, and the community can stay connected with teachers and administrators, uploading text messages, digital content, class schedules, and assignments. It also serves as a platform for collaboration and sharing of materials between classes and even schools worldwide, promoting the exchange of ideas and content.

Overall, Edmodo has proved to be a reliable tool for enhancing classroom experiences, streamlining communication, and encouraging collaboration among students. It offers a secure environment for sharing projects and receiving feedback from peers while teaching students about netiquette and cybersafety. Moreover, Edmodo has been instrumental in expanding teachers' professional networks by connecting them with other educators for resource sharing and support.

Connections Built on Edmodo

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

December 3, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

While my organization does not necessarily utilize Edmodo, my previous district did and I continue to do so. I use it to connect my students with their global peers to engage in dialogue, receive purposeful feedback on various creative products, and collaborate on numerous projects. Parents also have access to see their child's work. I use Edmodo to communicate with teachers, near and far, to gather resources, ideas, and work on projects.

Pros

Safe, collaborative platform for teachers and students.
Allow teachers to share and house resources for others to use.
Various engagement tools to assess, promote dialogue, and interact with students.

Cons

I do wish they would bring back Snapshots which allowed for brief formative assessments based on standards.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is well suited for teachers to create closed, monitored groups for students to join with a special code. Once all students are in the group, teachers can lock it so no other person may join. Once students are within a group, teachers can set expectations and norms. Groups that contain students from two different classes allows for collaborative experiences.

Having the ability to personally message students or do group messages.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for staying in touch with what teachers are doing within the classroom and knowing what my student groups are working on.

Connecting Digital learners to Digital educators

Rating: 6 out of 10

Incentivized

November 13, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Edmodo to connect learners and educators via digital classrooms. Edmodo allows us to work with families in rural regions to make sure quality lessons and student engagement is happening across mountain valleys. We have also been able to use Edmodo as a way to bridge professional development training to those who cannot attend local workshops.

Pros

Assignment schedules
Google Integration
Class Discussion

Cons

Better user interface
Smoother Google Education connection
More control over student discussion

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is a program that works very well with a system that has a 1:1 technology program. Educators and trainers will find the Edmodo learning community a place to find great tips and tricks on using Edmodo in a digital classroom setting. Students can easily connect into their classrooms, and teachers can co-own digital classes together.

Benefits of Edmodo

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

October 22, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Edmodo as a platform to create a virtual environment for our classrooms to give students quizzes and assignments. We have used it building-wide across grade levels. This platform helps us to provide quick feedback to our students on their progress and performance in class. We are also able to track their improvements to be able to celebrate successes.

Pros

Ease of access for our students and staff.
Provides a way to access students with records of their performance.
Customer service is available and willing to work with us to help us troubleshoot.

Cons

When using the app, we have encountered difficulty with it asking to be reinstalled.
There have been instances of student answers disappearing when they submit.
Some notifications that will constantly reappear even after being cleared.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo does a great job of presenting student results. The use of bar graphs allows us to quickly see where students are at to plan for interventions and instruction. It allows students to have access to the assignment even if they are outside of the classroom. It allows for faster feedback to be given to my students about their performance.

Edmodo is great for elementary teaching

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

February 9, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an elementary teacher at a public charter school. I personally use Edmodo in my own classroom. I am not aware of anyone else in the building who uses it, but there may be other teachers who do. I mostly use it to post warm up questions and create student polls. It helps to save time and go paperless.

Pros

The platform is aesthetically pleasing. It is very similar to popular social media platforms.
It is great for formative assessment because you can give students immediate feedback on evaluations.
You can upload all kinds of files, making it easy for students to access information anywhere, anytime.

Cons

It would be helpful to have a chat window to interact with students directly.
The mobile version is not as good as the web version and has technical glitches, which students occasionally complain about.
The software occasionally runs slow, but hardly ever.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is great for improving communications among students, teachers, and parents. It is a good one stop shop for anything related to managing a class via an online platform. Whether this means sharing files, giving assignment feedback, etc., it can do whatever you need. Occasions where it less appropriate are if you use a platform like Google Classroom instead, or have separate methods of doing all the functions that Edmodo does.

Pros

It is a very good way for students to communicate with their teachers and vice versa.
It can be used to quickly get information out to all parents.
It's a great tool for collaboration between instructors in the school as well as between schools.

Cons

The mobile version does not always log in quickly.
The mobile version isn't as easy to navigate.
The mobile version could use a better interface.

Likelihood to Recommend

I honestly can't think of an educational setting that would not benefit from Edmodo. Edmodo is really safe and reliable software. It is really easy to use.

Edmodo - Outdated and Unattractive

Rating: 6 out of 10

Incentivized

February 6, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My students are in the Wonder League Robotics Competition (WLRC). The organizers of the competition require teacher participants to use Edmodo to stay abreast of program changes and to obtain help regarding submissions and the robot performance. Edmodo is in place due to the requirements of an outside vendor, so it is only used by two people in my organization as far as I know. Edmodo allows me to network with other WLRC participants and the WLRC organizers to ensure the students are meeting the complex requirements set by the WLRC as they evolve.

Pros

Seeing updates given by the organization.
Finding out the concerns of other participants.
Accessing help from competition organizers.

Cons

Searching for specific Edmodo "courses" is very cumbersome.
I would like the ability to have multimedia play directly on the platform.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is good for basic dissemination of information to users. The interface is not very attractive. It also is not robust for sharing information beyond text and simple documents. Since the search function is cumbersome it isn't appropriate for finding information quickly. Google Classroom is much more user friendly so I would suggest that instead of Edmodo.

Edmodo Has Much to Offer

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

January 31, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Edmodo both as an educator and as a student at the graduate level. It has been used at my school as an alternative classroom platform, allowing teachers some versatility. It is a platform suitable for sharing content and calendars. It allows students and teachers to be in touch in a more informal manner.

Pros

Has great Google integration, allowing the teacher to share files with students easily.
Has user created lesson plan sharing and integration, making education more open and accessible.
Edmodo helps keep everything in one central location for classrooms.

Cons

Edmodo's user interface can be a bit overwhelming and crowded.
Edmodo can be difficult to navigate.
It is difficult to customize, the platform is not very intuitive in this regard.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is a great classroom management tool. It has a lot of quick and casual features that teachers can access multiple times a day to keep better data on where each student is individually. Things like polls and quizzes built in natively can help teachers track student progress in a formal manner.

Edmodo - An all in one Educational Platform.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

January 31, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Edmodo for continuing medical education, for specialist physicians, resident physicians, nurses and medical students in an internship. This tool has been really useful, because, we have always looked forward to teaching and improving our workers' knowledge, and this way has been the most helpful way to check if what we have taught them has been learned. It also gives us the opportunity to give a follow up with the users.

Pros

The platform is simple and concrete. The Facebook like style, makes it easier to use and to get use to.
The tools available in this platform are amazing - scheduling a test, reminders, and having statistics of the grades of all students or users.
It has included Office 365 Online (for those who don't have the opportunity to buy a subscription or those that are in a hurry and want to do their work online).
You can create as many groups as you wish.

Cons

The set up is a little bit difficult.
The IP redirection for users in your institution can be something overwhelming.

Likelihood to Recommend

Edmodo is well suited of course for educational institutions, and also for institutions that have continuing education programs, that want to have reliable proof of how users or students progress in their assigned work.

Edmodo to connect parents and students

Rating: 6 out of 10

Incentivized

January 30, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Edmodo in the intermediate level of grades 3-5. Older grade levels are using another program entirely. We are using Edmodo to connect with both students and parents over assignments and class scheduling.

Pros

Scheduling homework assignments is great.
Connecting with parents is very smooth.
Having multiple teachers to share a group of students is very easy to do.

Cons

Lots of competition. Many programs offer similar tasks or abilities, some that have better UI.
Not always the easiest to connect to my school server for uploading student information.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is most suited for being in a classroom that has 1-1 tablets or computers for students to access their individual homework and schedule.
