Edmodo

Private, student safe, social platform to share ideas, files, events, assignments and grades.

A great place for students to write, and discuss ideas, synthesize information, apply what they have learned.  Other students learn from responses others have posted so they can learn how others think and analyze information.

Here are two examples:

The first is the setup of Edmodo to have students in character learn about and discuss the Shakespeare Play, A Midsummer Nights Dream.  This is a work in progress.  BBC Animated videos, a source with english translation are provided as resources.
