This article discusses how the iPad made by Apple is incorporated in the classroom. Students and teachers from all grade levels have experienced a positive effect from using and incorporating the iPad in the classroom. Students become more engaged and motivated throughout the lesson or activity while using the iPad. The iPad is also very useful and beneficial to students with special needs as well. I think this article is a good article to read, because it explains how important and useful technology can be to our students.

Edmodo is a social media site where teachers and students can share and exchange ideas and information. Edmodo allows users to share and communicate multimedia information on the web. Edmodo has many features and functions. The main page of Edmodo is the daily post. It is very similar to Facebook, where you can see the latest updates and news feeds. Here users can post questions, information, ideas, assignments, take a poll, quizzes and also users can comment back to previous posts. The library feature allows users to add links and files so they can be shared with others or just so the user can access them at any time. There is also a calendar that is available to post assignments or other information to as well.
Edmodo can be very useful and beneficial for teachers today. Children our surrounded by technology, they relate to technology. By incorporating Edmodo in the classroom students will become more engaged and motivated throughout the lessons and activities. It is a great tool for teachers to use to keep their students interested throughout the lesson. It is also a great tool for teachers to share information with other teachers as well. You can learn new exciting lessons or ideas from other educators as well.
The article link you posted is very informative. It's great to see so many schools using iPads in the classroom and teachers also getting used to the idea. These school are lucky to have the funding and resources that are needed to have all that technology available their students. I think in a couple of years that iPads will be a common tool in every classroom.
