Twitter In the Classroom - Edmodo

Posted by: Jeff VanDrimmelen In: Student Tools| Teacher Tools

Welcome to Edutechie.com! If you're new here, be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Last week I linked to a great article about using Twitter in the classroom.  Today I saw a new service that is in Beta right now that is a twitter-like web app specifically designed for the Classroom…  Edmodo.  I was not able to get in, but you can see some screenshots here. 

It promises to be the service to connect schools, teachers, parents and students. 

Instant communication and connection is a great thing and if a whole school buys into something like this it could be fantastically popular and useful, but you will lose the greater Twitter community which is part of the power of Twitter.

About Anthony

I am 20 years old, and a Sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My hobbies involve going to the gym, spending time with friends, and messing around on my computer. I am a Computer Science major right now, but there is too much math for my liking, so I am considering a switch to the Journalism School specifically multimedia design).
