Edmodo


 * Description:** Edmodo is a social networking site related to education. It has an easy to use interface that allows students and parents to connect with teachers and assignments online as opposed to in the classroom. Teachers can post assignments targeting groups that students can be given the code to access. The interface is very similar to the interface of facebook, but doesn't have quite as many features as facebook. This lack of personality options, is more than likely to prevent distractions from the educational purpose this website is built for.

As a teacher, there are many useful tools such as the "library," and "badges."

The **library** is a place where teachers can organize their favorite or most used websites and documents.


 * Badges** are a way to give students recognition. Badges can be awarded for something very specific such as one student helping another on a reading assignment or for something broad like turning in all homework assignments. As the teacher, you can create badges or use one of the few that edmodo has to offer.
