Nav Thind discusses how Edmodo can be used as a professional learning network (PLN), virtual learning network (VLN), and for mobile learning (mLearning). Edmodo allows for discussion, facilitates technology skills for students, and integrates these functions into one program. Thind realizes their pedagogy can incorporate such programs and they have learned Edmodo has multiple functions to keep teaching items organized and integrated with a large PLN network while also enabling mLearning through apps.

Philosophy and Teachnology

Edmodo specifically has given me the opportunity to utilize a
software that works as a PLN, VLN and mLearning through
apps

This program also facilitates discussion, and technology skills
for students

I realize that my pedagogy can integrate this kinds of programs.

Learnings from Edmodo

highlight new learnings that you have related to the concept
chosen

Ive learned that sites like Edmodo have multiple functions and
allow me to keep items particular to teaching in a particular
software.

This works better than a VLN like Moodle because it is also
integrated with a large PLN network

There are also multiple apps that can be introduced to students
at anytime and therefore facilitate mLearning.

Edmodo

Edmodo works as both a social networking site for my
classroom and concurrently as a PLN (professional learning
network)-

This will impact my future teaching as I will be able to integrate
both a source of knowledge and PLN and also a site that can
facilitate conversation and dialogue between students.
