Edmodo is a free web-based tool that connects students, teachers, and parents in a social-media like way. Edmodo is very interesting in that it has tools that let you as the teacher determine who can join groups. You can ensure those groups stay private and monitor the activity of members; this helps ensure safety. Edmodo's website promotes how interactive it is - you can post discussions, make polls, foster communication, and make learning increasingly social.
As a teacher, you may be asked to teach a subject that you are not familiar with; Edmodo has got your back! It allows you to communicate with a network of teachers about topics, curriculum material, and resources. Connecting with parents is also a great resource that Edmodo has; it allows parents to see what assignments are upcoming, turned in, and overdue. As a teacher, you can post important announcements for parents with regard to classroom events or events.

It looks like a great interactive tool to promote safe and social learning in the digital realm. I had a blast exploring Edmodo and hope you do too!
Happy learning!
