The use of technology has become a growing requirement in mathematics curriculum. As technology became more used in people’s lives it was decided that technology should see more use in schools. One very useful technology that can be adapted and integrated into any mathematics class is Edmodo. Edmodo is a social media style program where teachers can set up online classes where students can join. In this online class students can post questions and receive answers to those questions by the teacher and fellow students alike. This allows students to receive more immediate feedback to questions while they are at home or away from school, instead of having to wait till the following day. Students are able to reflect on what they know by helping their fellow students, and by what they don’t know from the questions they can ask. The teacher can also have a more close interaction with each individual student who has questions, while also allowing the teacher to help expand the students learning.

Edmodo can be accessed at www.edmodo.com where the teacher can sign up for free. The teacher can create a group that their students can join by using the group code. By being connected like this it can be especially useful for CCSS N-RN.3 allowing students to explain to each other and to the teacher why the sums or products of rational or irrational numbers are rational or irrational. This technology allows the students communication to be organized and recorded so that students can review what they talked about and can verify their understanding.
