Reflections in Writing Before and After Edmodo

Before the middle school students tackled using Edmodo and collaborating with FSU students, there opinions on writing was mostly divided.  A third liked writing, while a third didn't.  The remaining third were on the fence or felt that it was a bit boring.

 
After using Edmodo and collaborating with FSU students, the same middle schoolers overwhelmingly agreed that they liked writing much more.  This is rather significant.  I believe when something is enjoyable much more effort is placed in the process of creating.  If Edmodo can encourage middle schoolers to write more, then the benefit would be substantial.  More writing would mean more practice, more practice would mean better writing.  From this exercise, I can conclude that Edmodo was quite beneficial in promoting writing and creativity.
