5/ EDMODO
https://www.edmodo.com/
Edmodo is a free social learning platform for students, teachers and parents. It looks
a little bit like Facebook so it is a familiar format for students to use. But before you
run for the hills, it is very different to Facebook in that it's completely controlled by
the teacher and specifically designed for educational purposes â one of my classes has
affectionately named it "Fakebook". It has a shared timeline as a homepage where
you and your students can interact and you can allow students to interact with one
another, if you wish. Both teachers and students have a library where they can store
documents and share them with others if they want to. The teacher can set
assignments, students hand in assignments and teachers feedback on the work all
within Edmodo. Two particularly useful functions are the quizzes and polls, and there's
also a built-in grade book that houses your teacher-assessed grades and quiz results
for each student.

One way to collate the videos created by a screencast tool is to start a YouTube
channel and upload them all there. This is simply your own YouTube home page â you
can style the background, upload profile information and follow other channels of
interest. You can also create playlists within your channel to organise videos into
topics and allow students to find them easily. If creating your own videos is not for
you then you can create playlists of videos that are already out there that relate to
the topics you are studying.
