this standard.
Edmodo allows students to manage their own
accounts on the website. Students must make
responsible decisions to manage their
assignments on the website. Students have to
use the website to guide their daily work and
to guide their research and problem solving.
Again, the teacher must align the assignments
with this standard.
When using Edmodo, students’ comments are
not anonymous. When answering discussion
questions and polls, students must be
sensitive and responsible with their
comments. The teacher has the ability to
monitor all comments and can deal with
problems if they arise. However, students
should know that all of their comments will be
read by the teacher and can be seen by
everyone in the class.
Edmodo would help students to become more
familiar with basic concepts concerning
computers and the internet. It will help them
become more comfortable with using other
internet sites and the computer in general.
This is especially great for students who do
not have access to a computer and/or internet
at home.
