EDMODO

Is a free micro blogging platform which us actually built for students and teacher. It also students and teachers to send files, documents, attachment etc. It also is like an online diary where teachers can send out reminders about sports day, assignments, money due! It can be compared to twitter or facebook - but strictly educational!

Features:
Safe
Teacher can delete inappropriate comments
Attachable files and homework
Communication between teachers and students
Alerts and reminders
Upload/dowload files and music
Intergrated to any learning area
Its free and simple to navigate
Dont need an email
Incorporates Gardner's muliple intelligences.

After the EDMODO presentation, I would easily say that this innovation is one of the few out of all the technologies we have been introduced to, that I would absolutely consider using in my classroom. Organisation is very important for me, and this innovation supports that exactly!

  2. Missed this lecture so thought I'd see what other class members thought about it. It seems that it's worth a look at. So thanks for your comments.
