Edmodo is being used by all teachers in our school district. I use it for classroom management and to post content for students for different classroom subjects. I especially like how it allows students to post comments and ask questions to the teacher, provides a planner, and they are able to access different multimedia content, documents and links. The Edmodo apps are particularly helpful especially for many different projects in the class. The areas that I think are problems for Edmodo are: not being able to search for certain posts by tags, and not providing more options for the teacher with the gradebook feature.
- Controlled access and commenting between, students, teachers and parents.
- Wide variety of app choices.
- Student planner is a nice place for them to follow and manage their workload.
- Teacher's ability to create small groups.
- Better descriptions of various apps and their functions before purchasing.
- Teacher and student planner: time feature so the event or task is more specific than just "day".
- Provide a search or filter feature allowing one to search through posts by date or individual easily.
- Provide more apps which do not require Flash, so they may be used on iOS devices.
- Increased collaboration between students and teachers
- Greater participation and practice of 21st century technology skills
- An opportunity to try other apps that students and teachers would otherwise not have access to outside of Edmodo.
I have used similar content management systems and learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, regular blogs (Wordpress, Edublogs), and websites. I prefer Edmodo in the context of the classroom for its simplicity and easy to understand interface.
