After using Edmodo for the Holcaust reading unit, I also began using Edmodo for my Writing classes. During the month of November, my students participated in the Young Writers Program as a part of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. I had reserved class time in the computer lab, but I wanted my students to have the opportunity to work on their stories outside of class.
At my school, students are not allowed to access personal email, use flashdrives to bring files from home, or access accounts like Google Docs that require a personal email. Edmodo became the perfect tool. They typed their stories at school, uploaded the document to Edmodo, and then were able to access it at home. Once at home, they added to their novels, uploaded the changes, and had full access at all times.
