Edmodo is the Key to Online Forum Discussions in Schools
MassCUE opened my eyes to many new ideas and technologies but the tool that seemed like a sure and easy go-to application was the amazingly simple but effective Edmodo.com – a forum-like platform for students to communicate in varied groups and for teachers to manage without stress or confusion.
When I returned to school after the conference, I was in the middle of trying to set up MassONE forums for two groups of students. I came back so excited about usingEdmodo.com instead and their teacher was willing to give it a try.
Sometimes when I start new technologies with teachers, especially when they’re new to me too, the start is a little rough and difficult to plow through. Working with Edmodo has been easy. Their blog and wiki have lots of info on them but I urge you to go set up your own account and get your students signed in, too. It’s so easy and intuitive. Trust me. And the kids will love it, too.
