Five Techniques for Improving Student Attendance June 25, 2012 By: Rick Sheridan in Effective Teaching Strategies The general consensus among most faculty members is that regular class attendance helps students learn and retain the course content more effectively.

In a nutshell, I see Edmodo as an all encompassing classroom management/teaching and learning/collaboration system.

Given this information, Yeager and his colleagues wanted to know: could such a bigger sense of purpose that looks beyond one’s own self-interests be a real and significant inspiration for learning? They recently explored purposeful learning in a series of four studies and put their intervention to the test against one of the banes of learning: boredom. Can Drudgery Be Eliminated from Learning?
