Edmodo is one of those Learning Management Systems that every teacher can successfully use in their classroom whether they have PCs, a BYOD classroom, an iPad/tablet classroom or just one computer/tablet in the classroom. It works across the board. Best is, that if a teacher so desires, he/she can even invite the parents to join  the class Edmodo group as well. All Edmodo needs, really, is an enthusiastic teacher that has access to a laptop. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcNjztKijsMXnTLnhj-10TiJNmoFJCcGJ_OJmf-ULSKHRGD3bEIijFZbsiEz21ceF3h6vgkddmIDU7z4SxexJIF2mpmEhUvZKma2A4XmXfKwcyvL-83UnQpEsadg54aooUi9LyVD_QhM/s1600-h/image%25255B7%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Wx5Ji6aY7ddjjF5L0Pq0VfaCPB8V0sy9bEbQu3mD3Xem11fy-hy8xXCb_0hfQZzP4zSXR2HRj6X6cnSGSVjhk7gCm0HHwgeRuxjNr_uafX31KPMTCjZr0EgBLq5-aHVqODB1TDeVN1U/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></span></a></div><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is Edmodo</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.edmodo.com/">Edmodo</a> is a free web-based platform that teachers can use to manage their class, share content, access homework and other school items.
