security features – why it’s not like Facebook
Edmodo explicitly deals with school and teacher concerns about social networking for students in the following ways:
- Each Edmodo
class group is managed and controlled by the teacher.
- Students need an access code to join the class. If a student shares the code outside the class, the teacher can change it, without affecting students already joined in the group.
- Students can only communicate to the whole class or to the teacher – private messages between students are not possible.
- Anonymous posting is not possible.
- Teachers can delete posts.
- If schools upgrade (free) to the institutional features, the school can audit all teacher and student activity.
- Parental access to their children’s posts and to the teacher is an optional feature.
