Edmodo is a platform that allows teachers to safely communicate with students outside of the classroom using the internet. It functions similarly to Facebook but gives teachers control over student interactions. Edmodo enables teachers to receive assignments digitally, provide feedback directly on student work, and allows students to draft and save assignments to work on from home. It is easy to set up accounts and free for teachers and schools to use.
