Edmodo

Introduction

EdModo is a website that allows creating learning activities for a class with "apps". Most of these will open on a third party website. Some (or most) then can report results back to EdModo. Apps can be selected according to five types of criteria: publisher (teachers or publishers), subject area, (american) grades, ressource types, and price (free to $6 and more).
