Edmodo

At Warracknabeal Secondary College, we use the web resource Edmodo to manage day-to-day communication with students on work and future assessment tasks.

Students join virtual classrooms with their subject teacher and other classmates. Teachers are then able to post information and resources regarding lesson content, assessment tasks, and materials required for subjects. Students are able to submit assessment tasks online, as well as receive feedback, making it easier for students to be in control of their learning. 

This is also an incredible tool for parents to assist students in managing work requirements, as parents can see all the work their children are doing in class, and any overdue work commitments. Feedback is freely given and help is easily sought, as students can privately ask questions directly to the teacher without having other students comment. Or, students can post a question directly to an assignment page to clarify outcomes or expectations.
