Over 4,000,000 users!

It looks like 4,000,000 people knew about this before me, but my new find for this week is Edmodo.  It’s a micro-blogging site with extra features like being able to send alerts, events, and assignments to students. It looks like it would be a useful communication tool between classroom teachers and/or teacher-librarians and their students. I came across this interesting tool via the LM_NET listserv. In her post, Lemon (2011) recommends Edmodo for K-7. 

One of the other tools listed, Museum Box, is something I discovered a few weeks ago. I’m looking forward to using it with the grade 7 students on an upcoming social studies project although Lemon (2011) recommends it for grades 8-12.
