I believe that students can learn best when they are interacting therefore I believe a hands on approach to teaching students about information sharing and safe communication is imperative for their understanding of how and when to safe information. Edmodo is a fantastic and secure social media site that can introduce students to social media in a safe and friendly way. The teacher can use the site to create polls, assignments, give awards and grade and create an area where students can communication safely about school and work. Edmodo is a service which I used in my Year 9 Extension English class that was fun and engaging and I believe it could transfer well for Upper Primary students. Additionally the service is free to use.
