Edmodo VS Google Classroom

Both Google Classroom and Edmodo are designed to help teachers supplement their classroom lessons. With both platforms, teachers can organize their course content, track assignment status and communicate with students.

Comparing Products
Here are excerpts from our Google Classroom and Edmodo reviews that summarize each solution:


Google Classroom: Google Classroom is part of the G Suite for Education (Google for Education) package that includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar and other apps. It’s targeted to teachers and students in both K-12 and higher education markets. Google Classroom is a free service for teachers and students and, like other Google products, takes only a few minutes to set up. However, they can’t register until their school signs up for the Google for Education package.

The main benefit of Google Classroom is that it’s simple to use and encourages collaboration between students and teachers. Teachers can create a class and list assignments in a few clicks. They can add students by name or send them a code to join. Students then can see what assignments are due, participate in discussion forums or message the teacher (either in private or via group chat).


Edmodo: Edmodo is a learning management platform that augments classroom learning with social learning for students and teachers in kindergarten to 12th grades. It has “freemium” pricing – meaning parents, teachers, students and even school districts can create their own accounts for free. Edmodo is set up like a social networking feed, similar to Facebook. Students, teachers and parents can communicate with posts, and other users can like or comment on them. Announcements, questions, tests and assignments are posted in the Edmodo feed.

Similarities
Google Classroom and Edmodo have a few similar attributes. Both solutions:

Are deployed in the cloud and have dedicated mobile apps
Provide free accounts for teachers and students with a very short implementation
Primarily target the K-12 market (although Google Classroom also targets the higher education market)
Provide features that encourage collaboration and social learning
Provide unlimited storage
Two Core Differences
1.) Integration with Applications
Google Classroom: Google Classroom integrates with many student information systems (SIS), along with websites such as Discovery Education, Curiosity.com and the American Museum of Natural History. Also, as part of the G Suite for Education, Google Classroom users have access to other Google products, such as Gmail and Google Drive.

Edmodo: Edmodo integrates with Google Apps for Education and Microsoft Office. Its premium plan offers SIS integration. Also, the Edmodo Spotlight tool can be used to download various user-created educational apps.

Bottom Line: Edmodo provides limited integration with third-party apps; you’ll need to download the Spotlight tool for more apps. Also, SIS integration is only available in Edmodo’s paid premium plan, while it’s free in Google Classroom.

2.) Features
Google Classroom: Some of Google Classroom’s key features include platform branding with school colors/logos, as well as the ability to reuse tests, assignments and other content for future classes; share videos, links or images with other students; schedule postings of assignments; export grades to Google Sheets and set permissions for student access/commenting. Recently, some new features were introduced, including the ability to send assignments to individual students, email and mobile notifications of assignments’ due dates, and the ability to customize the types of notifications received.

Edmodo: Edmodo’s key features include its two tools, Edmodo Snapshot and Edmodo Spotlight.

The Edmodo Snapshot tool is designed to meet Common Core standards, as well as other education standards schools must follow. Edmodo partners with content providers to offer resources such as lesson plans, tests, games and other activities. Snapshot also provides question banks and assessments for teachers, as well as real-time reports that illustrate progress by student so teachers can figure out which students need help.

Edmodo Spotlight is a tool for downloading various educational apps. Users can find specific apps through filters for subject matter, grade and/or price. Teachers can create and upload their own apps or make recommendations. Most of the apps are free to download, but others cost a nominal fee (approximately $1 to $6 per app).

Bottom Line: While both solutions offer social learning features and access to content, Edmodo doesn’t offer mobile or email notifications of upcoming deadlines or missed assignment due dates. Edmodo offers dedicated accounts for parents to access students’ work and collaborate with other parents. Google Classroom doesn’t have this capability; instead, parents receive an email summary.

Comparing Offerings
Price
Google Classroom: Google Classroom is a free service for both teachers and students. However, they can’t use it until their school signs up for the Google for Education package. The Google for Education suite is free, but Google sells a variety of optional products and services, such as authoring tools, content topics, Chromebooks and professional development workshops.

Edmodo: Teachers, students and parents can create a “freemium” account that includes many of Edmodo’s basic features. Additionally, there is a premium plan ($2,500 per school year) that includes advanced features (analytics, gamification and prioritized customer support).

Bottom Line: Google Classroom and Edmodo are free for teachers and students. However, both vendors offer different features and services as optional purchases.

This is not just helpful for the students and teachers but to all the vendors as well While we are learning from it, they also receive benefits

I have learned that these are invented for us to be more effective in learning and to have a wide knowledge in our studies. All of these are effective

We dont have to choose when it comes to which is effective coz they are both helpful

I have also learned that the two can help to students for collaboration and deep realizations about the topics

Yes they have differences and they can be compared in terms of functions but the purpose was somewhat similar

which of the two is the most effective?

can we consider these two as a platform for ubiquitous learning?
