Navigate 2 - Tools for Deciding on an LMS





I explored some of the Learning Management Systems (LMS) shown above.
Which LMS is best? How does the selected LMS meet the needs of all stakeholders, including administrators, students, teachers and faculty, instructional technology, development, support, and parents? 
All of the LMSs which I explored had a lot of the same features, however the one I chose to call best is Edmodo.  Edmodo is a free LMS with no restrictions on the number of students in a group.  It provides a secure classroom environment in which the teacher can manage.   The teacher can delete inappropriate posts from students and the student posts can be seen by teachers as well as parents.  it is user-friendly and the Edmodo LMS has guide videos and support staff.  Teachers can post text,  polls, videos, links, quizzes and assignments.  

How does the selected LMS align with the initiatives, growth, and technological needs of your organization?
Edmodo helps with saving paper because so much can be done within the system.  Student work assignments can be submitted online. Student assignments are also posted online and this helps to save money.  Each year my organization is given a limited amount of paper and a limited amount of copy privileges.  It is mobile friendly which helps engage students and encourage them to use their technology.  Edmodo can also be useful for students who need remediation or tutoring and those who need to enrichment, making it a great LMS for differentiation.
