Edmodo - Keeping Class Organized
Edmodo has been a lifesaver as I have transitioned away from paper/pencil assignments towards more and more digital assignments. In the Office365 environment, students are able to "share" files with their teachers and peers, but sharing is not efficient for turning in an assignment. For the student, sharing is easy, but for a teacher grading 50 to over 100 assignments, sharing leaves much to be desired - particularly organization and student names.
Edmodo has been a lifesaver for allowing me to easily know whether everyone has turned an assignment in or not in a single screen for each class. It is then a breeze to click right down your class list and open each file to assess. You can even type comments within the student documents and request work to be revised and resubmitted. There was a learning curve for my students, but after turning in a few assignments, they were able to quickly get the hang of Edmodo.
Another bonus for Edmodo - they let students use their school Google or Office365 account to create their Edmodo account. This is awesome because it means their Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive is then integrated and connected to Edmodo, making it easier to hand in their work.
