As educators, we need to be thinking about how to teach … in the language of the Digital Natives” (Prensky 4). That is why I am planning on and using Edmodo in my classes. Initially, I plan on using Edmodo as a homework tool. Students will post a video response via Edmodo. Edmodo facilitates this contact.

Every Earth Day, someone in your school, maybe the parent group, raises the question of WHY NOT a paperless classroom? This includes how-to videos, lesson reviews, homework help, whiteboard explanations of math or science, and anything required for a flipped classroom. Really, though: Why not? Digital calendars. Screencasting.

In groups-- the Socrative space race is great for this! I like Edmodo best for traditional administering of tests. The gradebook feature and automatic scoring save me time and all tests are time-stamped and teachers can set a limit on how long to take the test. As of now, Edmodo tests cannot be taken through the app.
