Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that was designed to be a safe alternative to traditional social networks to use in the classroom. Teachers and students can send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other. You can access a trial group by selecting the "I'm a Student" sign in and using the code given to you.
