Welcome to the Edmodo Resources Livebinder created by Tricia Rodriguez and Steve Ryan.

We hope that this will be a valuable resource for all teachers that are considering implementing social media applications within their classrooms and would like to begin with Edmodo.  Whether looking to use it as a course management system, learning environment, or as an online extension of your classroom, this resource should provide valuable insight into how we utilize this program in our classrooms as well as a number of resources out there that offer the insight of many educators that are currently utilizing Edmodo.

We welcome any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback that you have in order to improve this site! Feel free to connect with us on Edmodo!

Edmodo is a tool that can and is being used in classrooms across the world to enhance student learning and make it more "social."  Edmodo is a fully-functional learning management system that resonates with students because of the ability that students can use it for so much more.  By using group features, sharing links, embedding other projects, the list is endless, students can utilize this platform and recognize it's "Facebook-like" set up in order to make learning happen outside of isolation.

Currently in pilot-mode, Edmodo is a part of the seventh grade social studies curriculum for the remainder of the school year. 

 Students currently use the site to: submit assignments, receive instructor feedback, and see the class calendar.  

The teacher uses Edmodo in order to send important links, reminders, and encourage students to share their own resources.  Additionally, discussion questions have been posed that require student responses and a continued discussion outside of the classroom.  

Students will be posting their own assignments that can be shared/ embedded within Edmodo (i.e. Glogster EDU) so that students can see each other's work and provide feedback.  Overall, Edmodo has greatly enhanced the way the classroom operates and communication with the students has become even clearer and more transparent.

With all computer uses and technology, tackling the issue of safety is paramount within any educational activity.  As 21st century learners, students must be taught the fundamentals of digital citizenship - who better to teach them these skills than their teachers?  By implementing Edmodo within your classroom, you take on the challenge of teaching safe social networking skills and must be up to the challenge of monitoring it.  Because of the anytime, anywhere availability of online social networks, monitoring is a must to ensure that students are utilizing the network appropriately.  Therefore, safety and teaching safety skills are a first when implementing Edmodo within a classroom.

Rules are an important aspect of any classroom - virtual or face to face. Thus, make certain that you are always up front about acceptable behavior for your students when using Edmodo.  

*See the rules poster listed on this website. Consider printing and placing within your classroom or having students build their own rules and posting those in conspicuous places. 

When administrators hear the words - social networking, some tend to run away from the opportunities due to many stigmas surround  this new technology.  However, Edmodo, designed specifically for schools, contains the solution to any and all concerns regarding social networking.  Because of the many security measures, available monitoring tools, Edmodo takes all of the worry out of social networking.

After hearing the co-founders of Edmodo, tell their story and share their backgrounds within education, administrators may begin to develop a better appreciation for the program and it's benefits.
