It looks a little bit like Facebook so it is a familiar format for students to use. But before you run for the hills, it is very different to Facebook in that it's completely controlled by the teacher and specifically designed for educational purposes โ one of my classes has affectionately named it "Fakebook". It has a shared timeline as a homepage where you and your students can interact and you can allow students to interact with one another, if you wish. Both teachers and students have a library where they can store documents and share them with others if they want to. The teacher can set assignments, students hand in assignments and teachers feedback on the work all within Edmodo. Two particularly useful functions are the quizzes and polls, and there's also a built-in grade book that houses your teacher-assessed grades and quiz results for each student. 6/ PINTEREST Pictures/images (you can follow walls) https://es.pinterest.com/ http://www.bbcactive.com/BBCActiveIdeasandResources/UsingPinterestforEducation.a spx 7/ DOTSTORMING https://dotstorming.com/ Dotstorming takes the process of dot voting online to allow groups of people to collaborate on a topic.
