Edmodo is a learning management system similar to Facebook that allows teachers to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess performance. Teachers can set up an Edmodo page to share information about themselves, connect with other teachers, give students badges to recognize good work, join communities for support, and plan lessons. The format is familiar to students and features include a home page for posts, a planner, student progress reports, a library to store and share files, and an app store.
