EDMODO

In a time where social networking with students is taboo and completely inappropriate, schools have found a way to still allow students to reach their teachers for educational help!  EDMODO is the new way to create dialogues with students in a way that uses the many technologies that students love to use everyday! 
In my classroom, I have recently starting using EDMODO with my 8th grade students in order to move away from the old paper-and-pencil assignments that waste resources and cause boredom for students. 

EDMODO is accessible for students on the computer, on their cell phones, and on iPads as well. One of the biggest advantages is allowing students to be able to ask questions about any assignments when they need answers. I regularly receive questions from my students about assignments that I have given on EDMODO. It is great because instead of not doing an assignment because they are confused, they ask questions, I give my response, and then they can finish their work.
