Our group thought that the Edmodo website seemed like a great Web 2.0 tool to use, to support effective learning in and outside of the classroom.  It is built just like a social networking site, very similar to Facebook.  Edmodo is a great website that easily allows students communicate with each other, as well as the teacher.   With Edmodo, teachers can create private groups for each class,  create calendars that shows due dates, start discussions for the students, and create polls for students responses.  Students will be able to discuss and share ideas with each other, even when not in class, as well as submit their assignment to the teacher.  With so many things to offer, this website is safe and easy to use, for both teachers and students, and it's a great way to incorporate technology into learning.
