7-EDMODO for Collaborative Learning<br />
Edmodo is a multifaceted application that creates a sort of “digital<br />
classroom.” You can store class materials, communicate with students<br />
and families and post alerts, grades and assignments.<br />
However, its greatest advantage is that it‟s an interactive space for<br />
students.<br />
It has an interface that looks somewhat like Facebook, but it‟s a closed,<br />
secure network just for teachers and students. Similar to non-academic<br />
social networks, it‟s a place for students to participate in polls, share<br />
events and have discussions together online.<br />
Students are much more likely to read in English if it involves<br />
the connection with their classroom community and peers. Edmodo can<br />
help bring English out of the textbook and make it feel like a natural<br />
part of the online chatting and posting they already do every day.
