Edmodo

toc = = = OVERVIEW = Edmodo is a Learning Management system, or a micro-blogging platform. The look of Edmodo is very similar to the social networking site, __**Facebook, but with an Educational twist.**__ IT OFFERS SO MANY FEATURES TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. For example it includes a Library, Calender, Quizzes, Grades, and best of all you can upload your own files (that's right students can no longer misplace handouts or assignment instructions). Have a look at their ABOUT PAGE for more info. BEST OF ALL IT IS COMPLETELY SECURE (PRIVATE, JUST SIMPLY SHARE AND LOCK DOWN A CLASS CODE WITH YOUR STUDENTS).
