Edmodo is a social learning platform that allows teachers to post assignments, files, and calendars, engage with students, and track grades. Teachers can create profiles and groups for classes to communicate assignments, questions, and feedback. Students can view grades, submit work, and communicate with classmates through their profiles and walls. The platform provides a convenient online learning community for teachers to organize classes, students to access materials and collaborate, and parents to view grades and participate.
