How Edmodo Is Transforming K Through 12 Education

Teachers are increasingly facing the daunting task of meeting the needs of the digital generation in the K through 12 classrooms. This generation does not learn in the traditional format where teachers are in front of the classroom imparting knowledge with students taking notes. Students want to take more responsibility for their learning. Students need more than textbooks to keep them engaged— they need interactive exercises, simulations, and real-time applications. This is where the power of technology can be harnessed. Edmodo, a Silicon Valley start up, has created a social learning platform for K through 12 students and teachers with 19 million users already on its platform.
