The Cre8tiv Mind

Save the date!  Edmodo is hosting a one-day virtual conference on August 10, 2011 called EdmodoCon 2011.  This conference will bring together Edmodo educators and new users from all over the world to learn, share ideas, and help all educators create an Edmodo Professional Learning Network.  I LOVE IT!

If you haven’t checked out Edmodo yet…stop and go to http://edmodo.com right now and fall in love.  Edmodo is a free and secure social learning network for teachers, students and schools. Edmodo provides classrooms a safe and easy way to connect and collaborate, offering a real-time platform to exchange ideas, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices.

Accessible online and from any mobile device via free smart phone applications, Edmodo has grown from a teacher tool into a district-wide resource as word of the free online service spreads through schools around the world.  And, did I tell you the interface looks almost just like Facebook?  The students absolutely love it!
