• Sharing knowledge.

 

Edmodo helps students to interact with their peers and teachers efficiently. Edmodo allows students to ask each other questions as well as view and respond to each other's questions while interacting with classmates; they can also exchange and view information. Students reply rapidly to each other, which decreases the number of e-mails and saves valuable time. Instructors may opt to respond directly to more challenging questions on Edmodo, which allows all students to access and learn from these messages. This ability to exchange data is also useful for courses in which students need to share links with each other.

 

• Group work.

​

Working in party. Edmodo enables small student work groups to be formed easily. In an individualised space where they can exchange ideas, posts, news, and tools with each other, each community has the capacity to build a team name and work. This function is particularly important in group project courses, such as a course on research methods, in which students will need to share analytical papers, post steps, speak about stimuli, or arrange face-to-face group meetings.

 

• Grading and tasks.

 

It is easy to add assignments on Edmodo. Although these tasks tend to be similar to a normal post on a social networking site, the post also contains an area to upload any assignment materials for students. On Edmodo, grading can be done directly via an easy-to-complete touchscreen device, and students can automatically access their grades on the web. In this context, in place of a classroom management system, Edmodo can be used and allows students to access their classroom information on one site instead of two sites.

 

• Visibility and control.

 

By retaining access to discussions on the website, teachers may retain a degree of oversight and control. You may decide whether your students share information, whether they upload materials to share with each other, and whether they respond to posts from each other. Similarly, in the event of problems, you can remove inappropriate posts as necessary and track the website. Overall, for all schools, Edmodo is a good companion.
