LIKE
There are many aspects of Edmodo to
like. I like that it is free and secure.
The teacher has control over posts, comments, and replies. I like that it asked me to verify that I am a
teacher, which adds to the security. I also like that it was created by
teachers for teachers and students.
DISLIKE
I don’t know it well enough to say that
there are many aspects that I do not like.
I was a little frustrated, at first, that I couldn’t find any FAQs or
tutorials. However, after some digging I
found the “Support” link that has a great deal of resources for all members of
the Edmodo community

SUMMARY
Edmodo is an online collaborative community
where teachers can work with their students to Connect, Assess, Personalize and
Engage (CAPE b/c teachers are superheroes).
At first, I signed up with Edmodo and had to send a school ID for verification.
At first, I felt inconvenienced, but this inconvenience only reinforced the
safety and security the site must have.
Then, I began to explore the site. I set up a classroom, but that is
where I began to feel overwhelmed. I
found a YouTube video explaining the basic use.
Finally I found the “Support” link and immediately downloaded the
teacher’s guide. I definitely want to
explore the “Support” section and its resources more deeply to better
understand how I can use Edmodo. I look
forward to seeing how it all works, especially at an elementary school
level.

FUTURE
USE
I can definitely see using this tool with
students in the future. I would love to use
the assess section to see how students can meet certain standards. I love that I can plug in standards and it
will automatically create a quiz with those standards built in. It would be great to use for entrance and
exit slips too.
