I am a fan of the Edmodo. This seems like an easy and useful tool in the classroom that is changing with the technology. This site reminds me of the same set up as facebook. It is easy to control and use this site. As a teacher, we can use it for discussions, real-time messaging, assignments and grading, store and share files, class calendar and other notifications. There must be an access code to become a part of the classroom page, this makes the page only accessible to certain students and not the whole public. This allows us as teachers to see when students turn in assignments, and also to comment, post and reply to what the student have wrote.
I think with all the technology advances these days that students are on the web more often and will enjoy interacting on the computer rather then pen/paper assignments. Edmodo allows for students to post things, hand in assignments and see a class calendar. This could also allow students who don't speak up in class an opportunity to express what they feel in words rather then in the classroom.
