Edmodo can be used many different ways in the ELA classroom. The teacher can post assignment for student to complete on their own time, post articles or websites for students to look at, and create polls and quizzes. I like how it shows the teacher when students have submitted an assignment. Instead of journal writing in the ELA classroom, we can have “blog writing”. Students can use laptops in the classroom to post and reflect on various things. The teacher can also scaffold assignment for student by assigning specific assignments to a certain group of students. This is great for mastery learners and slower learning children. Students can submit assignments and read what other students write. Students can also respond to other blogs and posts. I like the feature that reminds students they have assignments due and directs them straight to the assignment. The parent feature is nice for those parents who are constantly on top of their children. They can see assignments and post from their children. This eliminates any confusion they would encounter trying to find the assignment posted from the teacher.

We have used something similar to this in my classroom called castlelearning.com. Students go online and complete assignments posted. They cannot write or blog on this website but it is good for math topics, quizzes, and test reviews.
I think it is important to involve parents to monitor their children's learning progress. Edmodo allows parents to do that. Thank you for sharing with us the castleleanring.com.
