Alejandro Matheu, MD, MBA, MSc in Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Manager in Marketing at Paradise Professional Delelopment School (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I haven't used any other platforms, but before choosing Edmodo I did a big search, and almost all the other platforms were paid (and very expensive). Google Classroom would have been a great option, but they only give access to schools or universities, so my application was … Incentivized Helpful? Lee Kolbert Manager - Performance Accountability at Palm Beach (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Google Classroom integrates nicely with Google Drive. Incentivized Helpful? Malwina Sawicka Trainer in Corporate at whiplash (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I used both of them. I will say Classroom by Google can beat Edmodo, or it is the best one in market. But believe me Edmodo is more trustworthy and more suitable. I can't say Google Classroom sucks or it does not work, but it is working good too. First of all if you wanna use Go… Incentivized Helpful? Gore Abdulov Digital Instructor at Whiplash (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) When I first decide to think about changing our teaching method from traditionary to modern, online method, Google Classroom seems to the best one, because it is from Google, and everyone knows Google is the best, I lost so much time to receive the access for Google Classroom. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) We ended up choosing Google Classroom as it connects easily and automatically with our Google Apps for Education applications. Drive folders are automatically created and set up for our students. Teachers are able to share copies of documents and even create individual … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) The advantage of Edmodo over Google Classroom is mainly the assessment component, some applications that are very worth using, and the professional community that can help any teacher in regards to instruction, information, or resources. Incentivized Helpful? Hershey Groff History Teacher at New Milford High School (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I actually utilize Google Classroom over Edmodo in most of my school functions. I still use Edmodo as a coach and club adviser but prefer Google Classroom as a classroom teacher. Google Classroom offers everything that Edmodo does but seems to be more efficient, particularly … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Canvas provides the most features as compared to Edmodo. I like the ease of Edmodo and its ease of use. It provides the basics of what someone needs who doesn't want every bell and whistle under the sun. There are times when all the extras make it difficult to simply do what … Incentivized Helpful? Leticia Citizen i4Coach at Beverly Hills USD (Primary/Secondary Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo provides the services that I love, unlike some of the other sites. Edmodo appeals to teachers connecting on numerous topics and subjects from science and coding to SEL and Professional Development. The groups are all protected and monitored for teachers and students. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is inferior to the two listed products. I did not have a choice in selecting Edmodo. Wonder Workshop mandates that all users sign up for Edmodo as a condition for participation in a student competition. Edmodo is less user-friendly, less robust, and less effective. … Incentivized Helpful? Claire Cornell Math Interventionist at STEP Academy MN (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I like Edmodo more because it is much more visually appealing than other similar products. It is very similar to other social media platforms that students use all of the time at home. This makes it more fun, and it is definitely very user friendly.

Ben Westby Fourth Grade Teacher at Roaring Fork School District (RE-1) (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo finds itself more user-friendly for the younger grades.

Jessica Groff Teacher at Leading the Double Life Blog (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) In my opinion, there are not many educational technological tools that stack up against Google for Education.

Hillary Marshall Library Media Specialist in Information Technology at Washougal High School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I actually think Edmodo is still a stronger product than Google Classroom.

Google Sarah Ciras Rousseau High School Special Educator at Landmark School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Classroom Google Classroom does not have all the capabilities of Canvas or Blackboard, but is a great choice for those who need an introductory digital platform.

Marcia Castor Lopez Fifth Grade Teacher at Los Angeles Unified School District (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Google Classroom Edmodo is a great way to integrate technology and get students engaged, as well.

I love how easy it is to navigate through the … Incentivized Helpful? Rachel Wiebe 6th - 8th Grade Science Teacher at Notre Dame Elementary School (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Google Classroom Edmodo's claim to fame is that it is similar to Facebook, but for education.

Amy Westby High School Counselor in Professional Services at International Schools Consortium (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Google Classroom Google does a great job of doing the obvious: integrating Google's Drive system as schoolwork.
