New Communication System: EDMODO

         Every week or sometimes every day, I’m trying to introduce some useful systems or apps for effective teaching and learning. This time I want to introduce; EDMODO.

         Edmodo is a system that I used. This is a facilitating and useful network especially for teachers. So, what is EDMODO and how can we use?

         Edmodo is a classroom management tool and social network specially designed for teacher-student-parent. Teacher can create quizzes, share lesson documents and more. It was founded by Nic Borg, Crystal Hutter, Jeff O'Hara in 2008. It is free but you should sign up. You can access with your computer or smart devices and it is suitable for everyone who can use technological devices.

What can we do with EDMODO?

         Activities can be organized with small groups. File and folder sharing can be done. Announcements can be made to the students. Parents can follow their students if they wish. Teacher can make quizzes from here. Teachers can grade to the students who submit their homework. Grade point average of the assignments can be seen. Surveys can be made to students. By creating small groups, activities and tasks can be assigned to a specific group of students in a classroom.

How can we use EDMODO?

•     You have to sign up firstly.
•     Then teachers should create their own classes and add their students. They can write about the    course content. Teacher can write about students’ homework, announcements or grade also, they can create quizzes, and they control their students.
•     Students can join other classes too.

         After you sign up and create a class, you can use your EDMODO. This system is really useful for teachers. They can control their ala students, they can give feedbacks. When I was in first class in university, my teacher used this system. It was beneficial for all students; we could get help from each other’s information and our teacher could control us very easily. For getting efficient feedbacks, this kind of systems can facilitate teachers' work.

If you are a teacher you can create your class and you can start using it, if you are a student you can suggest your teacher to using EDMODO.

See you next time..👋
