I did it! Today I passed out permission forms for my students to take home to their folks about signing up for Edmodo. As I introduced everyone to the idea I could see sparks of interest in their eyes. I guess time will tell. This pushes me a little closer to the idea of getting a smart phone. If only I didn't have to pay so much for the "luxery." The idea that I like the most about Edmodo is that I can remind students of assignments and assessments in one swoop!
