Edmodo is a free service website which can provide teachers an opportunity to alleviate from the stressed paper work. It is a network which used for teacher/student interaction. It has many educational functions, such as note, alert, assignment, quiz, and poll.

For teachers, we can create a group, and students can use the group code to join in. From that time on, a collaborative classroom is built. It allows us to manage class content more like a platform. We can arrange assignments, conduct quizzes and events, provide files for students, facilitate other learning experiences with students. For example, if you want to send an assignment. All the work you need to do is write down the title, description, due date. If necessary, you can add links or some materials from the library, then click the “send” button, and then you are ready to go. Teachers can also invite other teacher to join the group, sharing educational content and resources, exchanging mind, picking up useful experience and new technologies from each other.

For students, they can use Edmodo to take quizzes, ask teachers questions, message other students, interact in the public discussion spaces, and avoid missing the due date to submit assignments. In the students page, there are links to “Calendar”, “Grades” and “Library”. “Calendar” can help students to have a clear about the day for quiz, assignment, and some events. “Grades” is used to check points. “Library” is the place to find all the files and links the teachers or group members sent to you. As a student, you can also add important files to your library.

Today, some students use Edmodo as Facebook to search and add friends. That is exactly its social function, and that is why it’s so popular among teachers and students.
