How is Edmodo Different? ● Its a closed environment that is moderated by the teacher ● No private information is required by students ● Students join classes by invitation of the teacher only ● Students cannot direct message or "friend" each other

As different genres of poetry areintroduced, the students have enjoyed knowingthat what they write will be shared with their newfriends.
