An Extension of the Classroom
Edmodo has allowed me to change my teaching practices significantly. Edmodo is a safe and secure environment in which I can create online assignments, quizzes, conduct class polls and generate exciting academic discourse threads to extend my students’ learning beyond the physical constraints of the classroom. In addition to all of these advantageous affordances, the Edmodo environment also allows me to model responsible digital citizenship habits, so that I can help guide my students as they learn how to be strong contributors to our online learning space. It is my hope that the students will actively use the skills that they develop within this controlled environment when they are out on the internet on their own to be safe and savvy digital citizens.

My Testimonial
After using Edmodo for the better part of a school year with my previous class, I decided to survey my students about the learning tool and reflect upon the way in which Edmodo has impacted my teaching. This testimonial illustrates some of my personal favourite features of Edmodo.
For more information about Edmodo, please visit the Edmodo tutorial that I created in collaboration with three classmates in ETEC 533.
