K12 Conference


 
            To further increase my knowledge of incorporation education in the classroom, I decided to watch a section from the 2011 K12 online conference.  The section I watched was on a service located at www.edmodo.com.  Edmodo is a social networking service for teachers, students, and parents.  This website is a very kid friendly version of Facebook.
            There are many pros to using www.edmodo.com in one’s classroom.   It is very user friendly for both teachers and students.  On the main page of the site are many how to videos if one has any questions.  Also, teachers have the ability to grade class work on the website and immediately send the grade to the students and their parents.
            The cons of the website are very few.  Some are that the website is quite inflexible and does not have many different design or color schemes.  Also, students that do not have s PC at home will be unable to do any homework assigned on the webpage

  1. I appreciate the clickable links in your post. You've described Edmodo, but you haven't share if you would like to use it in your classroom. What do you think?
