After researching many types of different technology and thinking of different ways to use them in the classroom I was a bit undecided over Blogging, Twitter or Edmodo. In class on Saturday Professor Kruse showed us some amazing examples of what Edmodo could do for us and all the "cool" aspects of it. This is a free website very student/teacher friendly. I would use this in my classroom to upload assignments for the day, if my class is paperless I can post assignments to Edmodo while in class and go to my desk and have the students sit and work on their laptops on the assignment posted on Edmodo.
In addition I can see form my computer the progress the student is making as they are working so in other sense I am looking over their shoulder as they work. If a student is struggling on a problem I will notice that right away and I can help the student that is struggling.
I can attach assignments on edmodo for the student to work at home. One thing I did find amazing is that there are not many schools from Des Moines on the edmodo sight. I think teachers would benefit from using this type of technology in their classrooms.
