How does Edmodo support PBL? COACHES' CORNER | Dayna Laur A project based learning environment can certainly be created without the use of technology.

Edmodo founders, Nic Borg and Jeff O'Hara 15 Things Teachers & Students Can Do With Edmodo Last week the Wall Street Journal had an article announcing that Edmodo had received a $15 million venture capital investment from the founder of LinkedIn and a former VP of Facebook.

Since then, I’ve had the time to delve even deeper into educational social networking and, specifically, Edmodo. I’ve introduced the site to a number of teachers, who have each used it to transform their classrooms in various ways. After seeing what the site can do, I know that when I return to the classroom, Edmodo will be the first thing I implement. I’d even push to get my entire school using the site, from 3rd through 12th grade. Why social networking? Let me back up a bit here. In the past couple of years, surprising even myself, I’ve become a pretty strong proponent for social networking in the classroom.

SETT – A Framework for Making Informed Decisions About Inclusive Technologies Technology is a tool that serves a set of education goals, and if we don’t think about what we want the technology for first, we end up with technology driven solutions that have very little impact on the lives of children and in our educational system Linda Roberts, U. S.
