Founded in Chicago, Illinois, when two school district employees set out to bridge the gap between how students live their lives and how they learn in school, Edmodo was created to bring education into a 21st century environment.
Today, Edmodo is based in San Mateo, California. Thanks to those who guided and supported us in the beginning, we're now the number one K-12 social learning network in the rld, dedicated to connecting all learners with the people and resources they need to reach their full potential.
Pixlr combines image design and paint tools with photo editing and adjustment features more convincingly than any other online image editing program. Whether creating an image carte-blanche, layering one image over another or using a variety of filters, effects and level adjustments to transform photographs, Pixlr is equally capable of producing results on par with many of its software-based counterparts. Yet, despite its deep feature-set, Pixlr remains facile, intuitive and, most importantly, user-friendly.
What started as a free online alternative to Microsoft Office has become one of the most impressive cloud-based storage and syncing servicesfor creating, editing, saving, and collaborating on documents. Google Drive (free) has long impressed me in just how far it goes toward helping people create and edit files, whether you're working solo or with a team. A recent update makes this excellent productivity tool better looking. And it's all free.
Microsoft's Word, Excel and Powerpoint offer familiar powerful tools to create, write, and present. These traditional programs increase productivity in the classroom and beyond.
