I've been experimenting using it with some groups of students and sharing it with the teachers whom I coach. However on this most recent go-around, I noticed that not only are all the features I need free, but also found that there are more features than Edmodo.
#DELETE A GROUP ON EDMODO APP FREE#
I had experimented with this site when it first came out - just a few months after Edmodo's release - but found it confusing to use and too expensive (they originally charged for some features that were free on Edmodo). If I wanted them to open the document or PDF, I had to go through the web interface.įinally I decided to give Schoology - another web-based LMS - another try. There was no "open in" or "share" button available when it was previewed.
#DELETE A GROUP ON EDMODO APP PDF#
For example, if I sent my student a PDF of a graphic organizer through an Edmodo assignment, they couldn't then open it into another app. As such, the workflow was awkward for many students with processing issues/delays and they became frustrated.įurthermore, you couldn't file share in the opposite direction through the Edmodo app. This was amazing for turning in work! However, in Edmodo, this work is simply saved into the student's "backpack" and they must go through a few more steps to actually submit it. Another great update: users can also open content from one app (such as Pages, Keynote or Numbers) in another app (such as Edmodo or Schoology) - see the photos above. How would students turn in the digital creations made on their iPads? Thanks to iOS 6.0.1, iPad users can now attach videos and photos from their photo roll to websites by clicking on "file" icons (the same icon that would access your hard drive folders on a computer).
Its cluttered interface made it difficult for my students - whether 9 or 29 years old - to find assignments, messages and quizzes. Additionally there was the age-old iPad issue of workflow. However there were some downsides: the "wall" or "newsfeed" became cumbersome.
I've relied on it it for everything from managing learning environments for my 4th and 5th graders to supporting my graduate students in the university classes I'm teaching. Edmodo.įor the past 2 years I've been an avid user of Edmodo - a web-based learning management system (LMS). Post Update: Wrote this post on 2-24-2013 with more info on Schoology vs. But right now Schoology has so much to offer me that you don't: easier workflow, advanced quiz and discussion features, a clean layout. And, unlike the Taylor Swift song - we might just get back together if you change/update. I appreciate all you've done for me, and I'll never forget you.
