# Edmodo

> Edmodo was a teacher-led social learning network for K-12 classrooms. Founded in 2008, it let teachers distribute assignments and quizzes, share resources and communicate with pupils, parents and colleagues. Its free product reached more than 90 million registered users by 2018, but paid products struggled to match that reach. NetDragon bought it for $137.5 million, closed the free Edmodo.com service in 2022 and shifted toward government deployments abroad; Edmodoworld closed in 2024 and Edmodo LLC was dissolved.
