Edmodo is an interactive social website for teachers to setup their virtual classroom! Provides teachers and students a safe and secure place to connect and exchange information, share content and educational applications, access homework, and view grades, class discussions, and notifications. In late 2008, Nic Borg and Jeff O'Hara, believing to evolve the school environment needed to reflect the connected world, set out to create a tool that closes the gap between accessing the internet and availability of how they learn in school. It is Edmodo's goal to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner. Edmodo functionally makes the virtual classroom anytime, anyplace learning. Teachers have the full ability to post messages, discuss classroom topics, assign and grade classwork, share content and materials, and network and exchange ideas with their peers! This website shares new ideas that are developing through the growth of this social learning community, giving it the potential to eclipse other teacher resource site!
