Collaboration & Brainstorming (Part 3) - Edmodo for workgroup collaboration

This is the final post in a 3 part series on web based collaboration and brainstorming tools for educational applications. In the first post, we examined some mind/idea mapping tools, last week we looked at some collaborative document editing applications, and this week we wrap up by checking out a free collaborative workgroup application for teachers and students. Edmodo.com is a tool that provides workgroup functionality specifically for education, and I am going to sign up and give it a trial run. I spent some time searching and did not find any other web based, education specific tools that provided comparable functionality, but there are a number of ways to accomplish some of what Edmodo does using other free web based tools, and we’ll consider those as well.
