Edmodo is a social media platform often described as a Facebook for schools. It is that and much more. Edmodo attracts teachers and students with a social element that resembles Facebook, but there’s even greater value in the educational apps under the hood. Edmodo (designed by educators) enables exceptionally secure cloud-based collaboration. A teacher, school, or district easily can manage a system that provides the best features of the cloud while practically eliminating the anxiety that we associate with students on the internet. It is easier to monitor student interaction on Edmodo than in your school’s hallways and common areas. No one gets into your Edmodo space without an invitation, and students can’t use it to connect with strangers. You are more likely to see a trespasser on your campus than you are to be bothered by an undesirable presence on Edmodo.
