Edmodo: Teacher Networking

edmodo.com

“Edmodo helps connect all learners with the people and resources needed to reach their full potential,” (Edmodo). While the site looks very much like Facebook, it is a networking site strictly for teachers and students. There are many features including ways to connect with students (such as posting assignments, quizzes, and alerts), a library of bookmarked resources, as well as opportunities to connect with other teaching professionals in specific content areas. For example, I am able to collaborate with other World Language teachers as a member of this social network group (or “community”). Members often post questions, share resources and ideas for language teaching, and post links to articles or other relevant content. It is user-friendly and a great way to get connected!
