Edmodo – The World’s Largest Online Community For Students And Their Teachers

Listen to this article

Edmondo-Community

You could say that Edmodo was one of those projects that could have either succeeded incredibly, or failed miserably. It should be more than obvious that they succeeded, and are continuing to do so on daily basis. Edmodo is a free social learning platform that provides a safe environment for students and teachers to connect and collaborate.

With intuitive features and unlimited storage, quickly create groups, assign homework, schedule quizzes, manage progress, and more. With everything on one platform, Edmodo reinforces and enhances what you’re already doing in the classroom.

The project was launched in 2008, and since then it has spread all across the World to grow and become the largest social online community for students and their teachers. As of right now, the Edmodo community is backed by its 36 million members who share, learn and inspire each other towards better learning systems.

Sadly, Edmodo does not have a proper introduction video hosted on YouTube, but the above introductory video created by one of the Edmodo users (great community) should be a great start for understanding the Edmodo vision and services. Technology is making major breakthrough in many sectors of our lives, and Edmodo aims to provide these technological advancements to schools all across the globe.

Only last week, Edmodo wrapped up their annual EdmodoCon – where over 40,000 participants were able to listen to teacher stories, advice and insights on how to make the schooling systems better for everyone involved. Big companies such as Microsoft, Discovery and Dove believe in Edmodo and are proud to be official sponsors.

“Recently, Edmodo launched Snapshot – a suite of tools that helps classroom educators understand and guide the progress that their students are making on educational standards. A “freemium” tool for teachers and students, Snapshot also empowers administrators at the school and district level with real-time insights into school-wide learning. We think this is one of the most exciting tools launched on the platform so far, and it enhances a range of Edmodo’s most popular features. Most significant, though, is that it helps accelerate the company’s mission: connecting all learners with the people and resources they need to reach their full potential.”

The above quote comes from the board of directors over at Index Ventures, an investing company that decided to invest a whopping $30M in Edmodo to help them sustain their growth rate, as well as to help them expand to more countries, schools, and most importantly – classrooms.

It is not the first time that the company has receiving funding, as far back as 2011 – Edmodo received $15M in funding that helped them to accelerate their progress to where they are today.

There are people questioning the Edmodo business model, and wondering whether there is any real money to be made, but when you spend some time thinking over the various activities and places that students have to visit during their years of schooling – it becomes clear that companies would love to cut deals for specific schools, directly through Edmodo.
