You have to love teachers who are able to see possible value in a web tool and try it in their classroom.  A few weeks ago I saw Edmodo on my twitter network and wanted to check it out.  Edmodo is promoted as a private, micro-blogging platform developed specifiaclly for classrooms, where teachers and students can connect during and after school hours.

Sensing it had potential, I approached one of our teachers, Rob Miller, and asked him to have a look.  Over the next couple of weeks he signed up, created a class group and had his students sign up.  Immediately it showed merit.  This week I had a chance to catch up with Rob and debrief.  He and his students have loved the platform and are continuing to explore it’s potential.

Below is a video that demo’s this cool new tool.
