EdModo
Edmodo is the largest K-12 social learning platform. It is similar to Facebook in a safe environment tailored to teachers and students. There is a "search teachers" function that allows you to search for teachers you may have met at conferences or professional development opportunities. You can join different committees and even participate in conference communities. The conference communities are great because even if you can not make it to the ISTE conference this June in Denver, you can still be a part of it virtually.

There is really so much going on globally with EdModo that teachers connect and share ways they use it in their classrooms. It is amazing what learning can take place using this resource. EdModo is such a powerful resource that there has been a live, online event created to discuss how teachers are using EdModo in the classroom called EdModoCon. EdModoCon 2016, this year it is held on August 2nd and August 3rd.

I think EdModo is mandatory for the classroom teacher. With 22 million users worldwide, it is an impressive resource for global connections in the classroom.
