Edmodo



Edmodo is a free, private, 'microblogging', social learning network for teachers, students, and parents. It is currently being used by all classes from 3- 6 in ICT classes and beyond.


 * excellent platform for students to practise and apply a wide range of ICT skills and capabilities.
 * learn, teach and demonstrate posting reflective messages when replying and responding online.
 * avenue for practising other ICT skills like hyperlinking, uploading and downloading files while interacting safely and respectfully as a good digital citizen.

In a way, it is like a private safe 'Facebook' for schools, crossed with a Learning Management System.

There is also a wide range of apps you can install within Edmodo for your class to use. Only one log in is required.

Each user has a dedicated area- the 'Backpack', or 'Library', for saving files and links, which easily meshes with your Google Drive folders, allowing access to files from inside Edmodo. Files can be shared in posts or collections.

St Patrick's has a subdomain of Edmodo at @http://www.stpatrickswangaratta.edmodo.com

Please join using the code for our school - I will provide it for you separately - and make contact with me and other teachers when you get there by Connecting and joining our St Patricks' Community.

You can create Classes and sub groups within the classes. Each class has a Join code or a Join URL, which can be set nad locked, or changed for security.

Edmodo is highly recommended as a Digital 'hub' for you class.
