Edmodo was very easy to set up as a teacher and a student.  I have seen teacher web pages before and Edmodo seems very similar.  Having a class web page is a great way to keep the necessary triangle of communication between the student, students family and teacher.  I like that the program allows for student involvement and interactions between the students as well as the teacher.  Edmodo can be used in any classroom grade level and content but in the ELA classroom I think that a tool such as Edmodo has endless possibilities.  For example, the teacher can post videos and tutorials on different writing skills or novel reviews.  Students can reflect on readings or share poetry with there peers at the click of a button. The program identifies with 21st century learners due to the fact that it is very similar to social networking sites that most students are familiar with.  Edmodo allows learning to venture out of the school setting and into students the hands of students in an endless amount of settings.
