5. Edmodo is a social platform for students, parents, and teachers grades K-12. It has the looks and feel of Facebook but with an educational perspective. It contains polls, assignments, grade books, and quizzes. Edmodo makes it easy for teachers and students to stay connected and share information.
6. It is a free website as well as a free app for Android and Apple users.
7. Edmodo is great for Form Groups because it makes it easy for everyone to stay connected in the classroom and while at home. A Jigsaw activity could be done completely using this site. Groups can be formed on the site, students stay connected and share the information they've learned about a topic. At the end a quiz can be taken to see what they students have learned from the activity. Foursides is another activity I could use Edmodo for. I can create polls with specific statements regarding an article from class.
8. I could not find any issues with Edmodo. Maybe a limitation would be if I created an assignment for students to complete at home and a student doesn't have internet access or an Apple or Android product.

Stephanie, edmodo is amazing! I know many teachers who use it with their students--and also use it as a way to collaborate with teacher both in their schools and beyond. It's a very powerful tool for learning. Great review!
