=Overview = ====The popular Learner Management System, Edmodo, has much to offer educators, but sometimes we lack that valuable resource, TIME, to explore and discover the many possibilities! In this session we will be sharing in the exploration of Edmodo through a Jigsaw group activity, as well as small and whole group discussions of the instructional possibilities for Edmodo's many tools. ====

After this session, TLI 2013 participants will be able to:

 * ====Explore and create using a tool from the Edmodo platform. ====
 * ====Reflect and discuss instructional uses of a tool within the Edmodo platform. ====
 * ====Reflect and discuss use of blended learning and Edmodo within their classroom. ====
