Edmodo

Edmodo has many different uses. One use is ELA.  Edmodo can be used in ELA for teachers to post assignment, such as asking students to create and post a poem. From there, the students can write their poem and post is on Edmodo. Students can comment on each other's poems and give feedback.

Another way to use Edmodo to enhance ELA would be story telling. The teacher could start a story (either fiction or non-fiction based on what the students are currently studying). Each student could then add on to the story until it is complete. In order for this to work properly, each student should be assigned a number. They will post their part of the story in number order. Their part of the story must directly relate and flow with the person before them. This is a great way for students to enhance their writing skills! It is fun and will keep them motivated!

  1. I LOVE the idea of having the students take turns to create a the story. I could really see the students getting into it and it coukd be done with almost any grade level.

  2. This is definitely a fun way to use it! Teachers could also share resources (poems) through students "Backpack" in Edmodo. :D
