Edmodo provides a safe and easy way for your class to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices. It is like Facebook but in a safe and  controlled environment appropriate for school.

• Place digital resources on edmodo for students to access or download,
•  Create polls for students to vote online.
• Write short summaries of lessons for students who were absent from class (better yet: get your students to write the summary).

Edmodo explicitly deals with school and teacher concerns about social networking for students in the following ways:

• Each edmodo class group is managed and controlled by the teacher
• Students need an access code to join the class. If a student shares the code outside the class, the teacher can change it, without affecting students already joined in the group.
• Students can only communicate to the whole class or to the teacher – private messages between students are not possible.
• Anonymous posting is not possible.
• Teachers can delete posts.
