EDMODO

-

Edmodo, also known as “Facebook for school,” is the premier social media and learning platform for teachers and students alike.
Founded in 2008, the site has since gained over 20 million users. The K-12 social media network continues to grow and is now available in six languages, including Spanish, German and Greek.
The platform’s app equivalent brings portability into the equation, which means educators, students and even parents can always access Edmodo when they need it.

How Teachers Can Use It
With Edmodo, teachers can truly bring the classroom online. With the ability to give assignments, quizzes and polls to students, Edmodo users can manage their classes and consolidate all of their activities in one place.
Users also have unlimited options in terms of sharing digital content. Teachers can embed instructional videos, create learning groups for students, and manage calendar events.
Communities allow teachers to browse subjects in order to find and share information within a broad stream of content and conversations related to that topic.
The platform offers numerous organizational features for teachers, even offering an option for users to print out rosters for substitutes. Badges are another fun feature, allowing educators to monitor the progress of student groups and issue awards for their achievements.
Enterprising educators can even use Edmodo to connect with other classrooms around the globe. Whether they’re studying a foreign language, history, economics or another subject, partnering with a class online can be both socially engaging and culturally rewarding for students.

I think Edmodo is an educational application, dynamic, intuitive, very simple and with wide potential; I like that it allows me to make tests and contact with my students at any time and from any electronic device, because, I can enter the Edmodo platform both by a thousand cell phone and by my computer.

                                                  PIXTON Pixton is a comic creation site (as well as Android and iOS app) where creators can both make and share their comic strips. It's simple to navigate. After teachers establish a classroom site, they receive codes to distribute to students. Students can join by entering the code or teachers can manually add students to their class page. After students create an avatar (in comic form, of course!), they follow the step-by-step comic creator to begin their graphic stories. Teachers can make a specific assignment, or let students create freely. Options include the number of panels and the layout of a page. Visual icons help students add artwork, backgrounds, and text bubbles to comics (students don't draw their own stuff here but pick from a bank of fun images). A handy link to video tutorials is located right in the workspace, and the videos open up above a comic-in-progress, allowing students to toggle between how-tos
