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.

Users recommend Edmodo for various purposes. One common recommendation is to use Edmodo to improve organization and communication in teaching, especially at the university level. Users find it helpful for facilitating discussions after completing lessons and for distance classes. Edmodo also allows for mass communication, saving time and improving communication with students who have internet access.

Another recommendation is to consider unique student needs before committing to Edmodo. Some students prefer non-digital means of proving their mastery, so it's important to take their preferences into account.

Users also recommend Edmodo as a powerful platform that creates a worldwide learning network, connecting students and resources globally. It is highly recommended for all teachers, parents, and students.

While users appreciate the features provided by Edmodo, they mention that there are other applications in the market that may be more user-friendly and interconnected. They suggest considering more modern choices for a smoother user experience.

Overall, Edmodo is recommended for integrating technology into the classroom, especially for grades 5 and above, and for creating a classroom-like environment.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

Well Suited in the following aspects -
Need to organize a classroom of people having the same courses, who need to practice online with peers.
The group needs to evaluate themselves based on the same test.
The group needs to share resources and want to keep things organized for one set of learning (i.e. classroom/Subject)

I am using another application software like Edmodo. The difference between them is when Edmodo is updating. The update is fast which is the best side of Edmodo. Also, when you are using Edmodo and you have so many students and classes, sometimes you get confused. The ability to connect with other educators and sharing experiences by talking to them is great.

At some point If you are a teacher you can not reach out to all of your students, for instance, I have 15 students and it is really hard to look after all of them but with Edmodo, the impossible is becoming possible. You can teach anything to all students with this software. At some point most of the parents do not like having to sign up for service, even it is free for them and this situation makes the teacher sad because we want parents to see their children getting a quality education.

I am working with adults and students. The online grading feature is perfect, you can see who finished their papers or who didn't. And of course it's working with Google Drive and that means it does not require any downloads. Joining any group is so simple, you can add a new member by using their email or they individually join by using group code. I am a trainer and modern education systems require more mobility and flexibility. All of them is included in Edmodo, everything in one place. It helped me to transfer to a paperless mode for my job. I usually work with the web version of Edmodo, but sometimes I need to check my stuff quickly, with the mobile version. But I don't like it as much, It is not working well as the web version. I think they have to do some improvements on that side.

Well, Edmodo is the best e-learning platform. Even you do not have to meet your audience face to face. And there are tons of free courses in different subjects. Now everyone can join them easily and increase their general knowledge or in specific subjects. I am individually using Edmodo for creating groups for my students and our staff members. There are plenty of tools for doing different kinds of work. If you are working with pupils, then you can add their parents to the group and they can only view their child's grades. You can create assignments for your members and you can grade them using Edmodo.

I find Edmodo to be especially suited to secondary school. It is a great way to accommodate the busy schedules of teens who are often working their first jobs or attending sports and have limited time for homework, but can benefit from looking up assignments or receiving reminders on their phones. It also prepares them for college in that it resembles many collegiate LMS systems.

Classroom tops Edmodo

At this point my school has rolled over into using Google Classroom. This has been a much better fit with our curriculum, as we have become a completely GAFE (Google Apps For Education) School. I think Edmodo would be good for a business or company that is not GAFE, however, the ease of Google Classroom made our entire staff want to change.

I would say that Edmodo is very feature rich and a great website and communication tool for teachers to use. However, I would inquire as to whether someone looking at LMS platforms is looking for just those features or something more comprehensive. For all the positives I could say about Edmodo, I really don't believe it fills the role of a true LMS system. It has a very familiar interface (Facebook-like) and it is super easy to get started as a teacher, student, or parent. It allows for great communication and it is easy to share resources. However, if you wanted to develop a true online course, or even a blended course for that matter, other LMS platforms make this easier and have more developed tools than does Edmodo.

Edmodo is Great for GEAR UP

Edmodo is well suited for instructional learning, but less suitable for counseling situations where students and counselors value privacy. Key questions are, "Do you want this to be a private conversation between student and instructor?", "Should fellow students have access to this information?" etc.

There aren't necessarily key questions to ask, but since Edmodo is on the internet, there is always a risk of losing or hacking student information. The website must be secure.

Edmodo is a great tool trusted by educators everywhere. It boasts a healthy amount of contributors and resources. It is great for measuring success using the various assessments tools it has (including a grading tool). However, there are some aspects that can definitely be better such as: use of the screen's real estate (responsive), management of communities "feeds", iOS app's features, and perhaps a bit snappier.
