This document discusses the benefits of using Edmodo as a teacher. It notes that Edmodo makes communication with students easy and fun, while also teaching them appropriate internet behaviors. It also serves as an information organization tool. The document recommends using Edmodo's group feature to organize students and send them targeted content. Assignments that could work well on Edmodo include quick polls, quizzes, and having students respond to links or upload files. Some apps that may be useful are flashcard makers and basic skills games. A co-teacher was given access to have joint oversight of the class on Edmodo.
