In AP Spanish, we partook in a pen pal project in which we communicated with students from Mexico. Instead of using snail mail, my teacher decided to use Edmodo as a means of communication. This was an excellent integration of technology in the classroom, saving both time and money. We were able to exchange communications easily once a week from both school and home.

eyond student accessibility, Edmodo helped my teacher as she was actually able to grade through Edmodo. It allowed her to view our submitted documents, write her corrections directly on the paper using her mouse and keyboard, and post the grades and her corrections online very quickly. Students could then easily access the document to view errors, comments, and the overall grade. Many students downloaded the iPhone app in order to view their penpal's response sooner and in order to view their grades on the go.
Without technology, this amazing experience would not have been as amazing. This is a demonstrated example of how technology truly makes the world more interconnected. As we progress with similar activities, we will be able to share culture and experiences with the world beginning at a young age. A more interconnected world runs smoother, and technology like Edmodo can help.
