WHAT IS EDMODO?
Edmodo is a social learning network similar to facebook that can be used by teachers, students and parents.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The teacher has to register first with the teacher role. After filling the register, he/she will be given a code that he/she will give to the students (and/or their parents) so that they register in the appropriate classroom.
After that, it is very simple since it works similarly to facebook. Everyone registered in the classroom can comment, upload videos, photos, share links, etc.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I think this social network gives students a great opportunity to practice writing while they enjoy, by commenting on videos, photos, etc. If properly boosted by teachers this can be a great tool. Besides, they can share their creative tasks so that they learn from what others do.
I would suggest not to correct mistakes, since this may stop students from writing, and what is expected here is that they practice and since mistakes are part of the learning process...let's not correct them so that they keep writing and do not feel frustrated!!!
ENJOY EDMODO!!!
