Carlene Bouley Module 5 Collaboration Task:  Edmodo

Note: Highlighted area is the score.  If not highlighted it

is Not Applicable.

Edmodo is a great tool that is set up very similar to Facebook.

Teachers can set up groups within the application.  For example,

I can set up different groups for each of my classes.  Here the students

can access it and post within the group just like one posts on Facebook.

This is a great way to be interactive with whatever lesson or projects we

have students connect online.  Tasks and lessons can be uploaded

online where the students can access it.  Other lessons from other

teachers can be shared and accessed as well.  It is easy to set up

and use.  Teachers can control the privacy and students would love it

as it taps into their social media affinity.  The downside to this is the limited

access in our school district.  We were told by our technology department

that the students cannot access this in school.  So this defeats the purpose

of being helpful for us in the classroom.
