Week 6, Assignment 2, part 2

Above is a picture of edmodo page that I made.

After spending a lot of time exploring the site, I was very impressed with all of the helpful tools that the site had to offer. To begin, the blog that connected all of the teachers who teach the same subject was fascinating. It was such an excellent idea to connect teachers from around the globe who teach the same subject to share in ideas and provide support for one another. Posts are constantly being created carrying on meaningful conversations between educators. Another tool on edomodo website was the option for creating quizzes. This tool offers the teacher five different formats for a quiz: fill in the blank, multiple choice, matching, short answer, and true or false. The teacher can than formulate the quiz in any way she desires and each of her changes are saved and the outcome is a clear and professional looking quiz. The library option is also extremely helpful for teachers to provide their students with the resources necessary to complete assignments. Teachers are able to upload the desired material to make it available for their students to use whenever they wish. Another tool that was very interesting on the edmodo website was the assignments tool. Teachers can post assignments with their details and due dates to be sent out to their students. This provides for clear communication between teachers and students. The student badges is an adorable tool on the edmodo website. Teachers are able to reward their students with badges of recognition for things like perfect attendance, good questions, being a good citizen etc.

Teachers can use edmodo to enhance their ELA instruction through a number a ways. To start the website creates a clear and easy to follow framework for teachers and students to work together. The organization and professionalism of the website makes the learning process smoother and more technologically advanced. Furthermore, the apps(the flashcards specifically)  that are available on the website can enhance ELA instruction tremendously. In addition the blog that connects everyone in the group can be a great way of communication between everyone in the class thereby improving everyone's communication and writing skills.
