Below is a screen shot of Edmodo used for my American Lit. class:
Edmodo is a "platform" or cyber meeting place that is an excellent tool for teachers. I can my my class calendar, documents, daily power points, grades, notifications, contact parents, blog, have my students post all their work, collaborate, access homework, and hold class cyber discussions. If a student misses class, they can check on Edmodo to find the powerpoint of what we did in class that day as well as postings of any assignments or readings they may have missed.
