Information That Could Be Of Help

EDMODO

It is launched at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year by Nic Borg and Jeff O’Hara, two Chicago-area School Technology Administrators and now the leading social learning platform for the K-12 classroom. It differs from other social networks because it does not require private information from students. It is a safe social learning because they can only access groups to which they have been invited by their teachers. Students cannot be “friended” or contacted by anyone outside of their Edmodo group. They can post messages to their teachers, or to their entire Edmodo group, but couldn't send private messages to each other. Teachers has the full control of their Edmodo groups and can delete posts, monitor all activity, review student posts before they go live, and even set individual students or groups of students to “read-only” access. Setting up of groups as closed private can be done by teachers for classes, clubs, professional development groups and other collaborative projects. Its communication stream  allows teachers and students to manage and view all communication and action items in a single place, from all members of all of their groups. Teachers create assignments and distribute to their students using the assignment post feature. As students log in, they see the assignment in their stream and can view the embedded file or media. It must be the ability of the teacher to create quizzes, edit and load previously created quizzes, provide a quiz description, set the time limit for a quiz, and preview a quiz before sending it to their students (group). Teachers can help students keep track of upcoming assignments, events, projects, school activities, professional obligations, and more. Teachers and students can create profile pages summarizing and tracking themselves as professionals or learners.
